Bruce, I'm having same exact problem. I'm running 2xBFG 7800GTX in SLI. Game
will just lock up in all video modes. I am using the latest video drivers
(77.77). The game will randomly decide to work for short periods of time,
just enough to get me interested before it locks. I hope there will be some
kind of work around or patch for this I would really like to play this game.
