Stuck at splash screen

from Elemental Forums

It never makes it past the splash screen. Ive waited over 10min. it never actually crashes so i guess thats why there is no .zip memory dumb but here is the other debug file. ive updated directx and my video card and have tried installing it 3 times.

 

in the debug.err it lists tons of files that it can't find. don't know if they are created later or what but they never exist only the folders.

I had the same problem.  Firewall settings didn't seem to solve it.  Tried re-installing and still didn't work.  Tried re-installing after deleting both '...My Documents\My Games' and 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic' and it did work.  I had heaps of crash reports in that later folder - maybe it was that?
