I downloaded and installed the demo with no errors whatsoever, so I got no reason to believe that I've got a corrupt file.

When I launched the demo, I got an error message essentially saying "Can't start file engine.dll" (I got it in German so I can't say what the exact English text is.)

I launched the demo in safe mode but all I get is an hourglass for a second, then nothing happens any more. No error messages. PC doesn't freeze or anything. Just nothing. It's like I never started the game. The process doesn't even show up in the task manager.

Now the same hapens when I launch the demo in both normal or safe mode.

Don't tell me to reinstall. Tried it already, but didn't fix it.

My system specs:

AMD 1700+
GF Ti 4200
512 RAM
Win 98 SE
