Is that since you installed the game or is this a new/recent problem with a game that worked OK before? If the latter, what has been changed since?

Is or was the game ever modified with 3rd party mods or scripts?

Have you tried directly running the game exe in the Steam folder rather than using a shortcut?

These issues from the DxDiag should not be show-stoppers but are not helping:

1. You need Win7 Service Pack 1 installed.
2. You have a 32 bit OS which may leave you short of available memory in-game after your graphics card has taken 1 GB of addresses for its VRAM from your fitted RAM total.
3. Your Nvidia graphics driver should be updated from Nvidia.
4. You have a VIA sound chipset so replace that old and generic default MicroSoft sound driver with the latest Win7 x32 VIA HD Audio driver from VIA direct.
5. Make sure you harddrive is defragged as you will be using a lot of slow pagefile drive access if the game runs.
