I did not see this issue on the forums yet so here it is:

Played a bit this weekend and try to start up Elemental this morning and I have a tab on my task bar for elemental but no actual window is drawn.  I get music and voices of the intro if i click on the task bar tab and hitting escape removes the intro and the sound changes as if its moved from the intro to the main screen.  I run in window mode at a fairly high resolution on a Vista Home Premium system (Service Pack 2) with a i7 as the processor and 6 gb of ram.  The video card is an NVidia GeForce GTX 285
