Download was fine. When starting up game, message pops up: "WARNING: DirectX Acceleration is not enabled. You may experience difficulties running Elemental: War of Magic."
When I click "OK" to continue, Elemental shows the loading splash screen then crashes to desktop. No further messages from Elemental or Windows. dxdiag reports that DirectX acceleration is indeed enabled and reports no errors. No errors on install.r
