GR freezes on startup blank screen

[keyser 0]

HI GUYS...new on here.

Had GR about 2 years ago i think and have had to buy a new copy recently as i missed it so much....

anyways i have installed it today and when i launch it i get a black screen with a hour glass for about 5 secs then just a black screen and the whole PC freezes, no HD activity whatsoever and i have to reboot.

Now....if i do ALT + TAB when the hour glass is there and start something else up so that GR minimises i can hear the AUDIO for GR, if i ALT+TAB back to GR the screen freezes and i have to reboot

here is my IKE and IKECRASH file
