Hello, I have recently download this game from Steam. Whenever I try starting it a little window appears and it says its starting the game or something like that. So I wait, a little less than a minute later, it looks like it switches to full screen. So I wait even more. Then, my screen gets automatically set to "power saving mode" (the same thing happens when my computer is set to sleep), and the only think I CAN do, is restart my computer manually. My computer is from 2004, its graphics cards a little bad I know, but it still should be able to run this game. I have redownloaded Java, no help and my graphic card is updated. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

The short term solution for me was to disable the steam overlay (from SK's properties in the game library), though you can't do any energy purchases at all afterwards...
and so far I have looked through the forums here AND in steam's forums and support, this has the most information about dealing with the overlay not starting up.
ps. had the same problems starting all of my steam games from within steam with the overlay support turned on, and i have to start those games from their execution files directly. Oh, sent a ticket about that but so far no reply.
