Hi!
Try installing the latest drivers for your graphics card.

Go to your install directory C:/ProgramFiles/Stardock/TotalGaming/GC2 and look to see if the game started up enough to generate a debug.err. If so, Open it with notepad and paste it in a reply here. That may give some clue as to what the problem is.

Also, make sure your color depth setting is on 32bit. The game won't run in 16 bit and in fact has been known to do what you described if tried that way.
