guys can't start the game (The Witcher)
when the game starts, a sign appears preparing to launch in a couple of seconds, it disappears and before it disappears completely appears again, in the Steam client, when the game starts, the inscription "- running" does the sameTommy_Koratel
reinstalled Windows? The first witcher does not want to work after reinstalling Windows (just the trouble you described happens), you also have to reinstall

reinstalled Windows somewhere in 2013 and bought the game yesterday
on Vista-7, I did not manage to start it. the reason is that some kind of sound library is missing and some kind of pitch-pitch I do
not know that so for a normal launch it is desirable to have Windows XP SP2-SP3
Solution:
Go to the registry (Go to the "Run" utility, enter the msconfig.exe command, then the "service" tab and select the registry editor). Then we go along this path: (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Wow6432Node Microsoft DirectDraw). We stop at the DirectDraw folder and look at the footnote on the right, there will be two lines at the bottom with the name "EmulationOnly", the value needs to be changed from 1 to 0. And you will be happy)) The essence of the launch problem is that if the value is 1, DirectDraw stops using old libraries, vital for the normal operation and launch of some games. By changing the value to 0, the game will start normally and work with all settings.
If there is no line "EmulatioOnly" ..
If it does not come out with the first method, then I will explain how to use the second, there are also 2 solutions here ..
We do this:
1 option) (your disk): Program Files (x86) Steam SteamApps common The Witcher Enhanced Edition System. Find the file witcher.exe, then RMB, create a shortcut. Next, on the RMB shortcut, in the top line after the space, enter -dontForceMinReqs. That's it, we turn on the game through this shortcut.
Note: (Make all changes only in your own created shortcut (it is necessary from the witcher.exe file and not from launcher.exe), in no case in the shortcut created by Steam ..)
Option 2) You can also create a .bat nickname .. Create a regular text document and copy -dontForceMinReqs there, then change the format from .txt to .bat and push this file along the path indicated above. (the result will be the same, the game will start with minimal settings)

method 2 tried there is another variation of this method to go into the launch parameters in the game (if the Steam version) and insert this command, though nothing helped, and 1 way there is no line
