I doubt it's your network, if it has network problems then it won't be able to log on, my bets are on a graphics driver incompatibility. Try starting it from the start menu using the DirectX start icon. If it still doesn't open successfully then change your screen colour depth, the aim is to get the application to open and remain open so that you can get into the options tab and optimise the settings to suite the particular machine. It's worth the effort.

Thanks. I'll give that a whirl in the short time I have left with access to the HDD of my machine.
