Hi! After a Windows/Impulse reinstall and updating/reinstalling GC2/DA and Twlilight, Twlight doesn't start anymore. It fails on the opening screen, presumably since it cant find the video card according to debug.err, which is c&p'sted.

N.B. Both GC2 and DA run fine, and I can get the Twilight launcher to switch chapters and start both GC2 or DA, and all activations are activated (It seems).
I reinstalled directx, installled new forceware betas, no joy! Did the registry dance as well....Halp!
