It does not launch in safe mode, either.

I was never able to get to the window which lets me enter the reg key. After installing the game and clicking on the .exe on my desktop, the whole screen blinks black for about half a second, the mouse cursor idles, and then my hard drive kicks up and then quiets down but nothing happens. Also none of the .exe's inside the game folder work either such as the editor. I play dozens of modern games on this and have never had problems launching one before. I disabled all the startup processes and programs like you mentioned, and even when no background processes are going on, it still does not work. Even uninstalling McAffee did not solve this, it is exactly the same whether or not McAffee is installed.

I tried the demo of Theater of War 3 yesterday, liked the game, and then bought and downloaded the full version. It installs fine, and then when I click on the .exe on the desktop, the hard drive kicks in and the mouse cursor "waits," but then goes back to normal and the game does not launch. I can see that "Korea.exe" is working in the background, but there is no game going, and no "korea.bin" which I believe is supposed to launch after "korea.exe" is launched. I applied the latest hotfix patch, tried to run the game as administrator, disabled firewall from McAfee for it (I really don't want to uninstall McAfee if I don't need to, especially as I see that another forum user had the same problem, and uninstalling McAfee didn't seem to help) and I don't have any other security/ anti spyware programs installed. I have uninstalled/ re installed everything several times, using Ccleaner to clean the registry between re installing. I tried also running it on just one core (setting the affinity to just cpu 0) I'm using a Toshiba Qosmio x505 gaming laptop with Intel Core i7 Q740 @1.7 GHz 4 gigs ram, Nvidia GeForce GTS 360M 2 gigs ram direct x 11 OS is windows 7 home premium 64 bit
