If you have a Creative card and Alchemy installed try adding the following to it:

Small game window or black screen
Some machines using Intel GPUs may have a game launch in a tiny window in the top left corner (or present a black screen once you enter gameplay). It's possible to fix this (assuming you've installed SS2Tool) by disabling multisampling: open cam_ext.cfg and add a ; to the start of the multisampletype 8 line
