I'm really sorry to hear that! My guess would be something related to intialising OpenGL or audio. The game prints its error and debug messages to the console, so if you're comfortable in the Windows command terminal, you could try running the executable from inside the terminal: it should show more information. I'll also look into coding a quick compatibility-test tool and uploading it, so we can figure out for sure.

Update: I've added an error-testing .exe to the project page. If you run it from the same folder as the game (alongside the data files), it'll check for the most obvious issues and hopefully give us some clear messages :)

This might be a bit late, but I think I've solved this problem (or at least, fixed a similar case.) There's an opengl32.dll file included in the zip: just delete it. I made an oversight including this in the download, and it can prevent some Windows video drivers from working properly.
