Vista 64 Black Screen 
			 
			
				I downloaded and installed the Penumbra: Overture Demo, but when I came to run the game the screen goes black, then my monitor goes in to power save for a second then comes back on but nothing is displayed.  The game appears to be loaded as I can hear a typing sound which I assume is from the game.  There are no error messages and the game does not crash out to desktop, I have to press the windows key and open task manager to close the program. 
 
I have had this problem with a few other games but I was able to get around it by using alt-enter to switch to window view, but this doesn't work with this program.  I understand that the game can be run in a window by modifying a settings file, unfortunately the game doesn't appear to progress to a point where that settings file is created so I have nothing to modify.  Is it possible for someone to post a copy of their setting file so I can create/modify my own file and copy it to the documents... folder? 
 
My System Spec is: 
Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit 
Intel Core Quad Q6700 
4GB Memory 
Radeon HD 2900 XT (latest 7.12 Catalyst Drivers) 
Dell 2407WFP 24" TFT Monitor 
 
I have attached my hpl.log file 
 
Any ideas why this game is not displaying correctly? 
 
Thanks
