I get into Impulse and start the game.  It brings up this screen and nothing happens when you hit 'play game'- the screen just goes away like the game is about to load up and then, like I say, nothing happens.  Also, the game is crashing a lot from loading saved games, and after restarting the game earlier all the buttons on the main selection menus had blank text.  Rebooting seemed to fix the missing text problem and rebooting again might resolve my current problem with the game not starting up but having to reboot a lot is getting annoying.

Thanks,

I don't have any crash reports, but here is the dxdiag and debug.
