Several people have had issues with the demo not starting at all.   It is to do with people who had fonts with modification dates of 1800 and really old dates like that. Some people have deleted (or moved) these old fonts and have found that the problem is fixed and that they can play the game.

The fonts are in the c:\windows\fonts folder:

You can quite easily change the dates of the file: 

- Right click on the file and then open the properties for the file

- Open the rightmost tab

- Fill inn something in the title field (or wherever)

- Click ok

With the new date things appear to work fine for a bunch of people.

Your demo should now start!

This issue is fixed in the first patch!
