I am having this *exact* same issue with my setup as well, only I'm using fully updated windows 7. I'm trying to play Fire Emblem: PoR, and the game just crashes on me and doesn't boot up. Using latest build (4.0.2), I"ve been prowling around the forums for a bit but haven't come up with a solution yet. As soon as I boot the game, it hangs for a bit, then I force close it with Task Manager (says app. "running" although nothing happens - screen stays black) when I try to boot the game again it instantly crashes.
