Steam Penumbra Collector Pack version crashes on launch

[vbhokie94]

I downloaded the Penumbra Collector Pack off of Steam and cannot get it to run on my system. The game crashes almost immediately after I try to launch it. I think the problem is with the video card. I have an nVidia 6800 GTX and have the latest drivers installed. The same problem happens with both Overture and Black Plague. The strange thing is that I also downloaded the demo and it seems to run fine. However I noted that when I ran the demo that Vista changed color schemes from Windows Vista Aero to Windows Vista Basic. This doesn't happen when I try to run the full version. The 2nd log is from running the Overture demo.

BlackBox returns the following exception:
penumbra.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module penumra.exe at 001B:0056A854
