Could you please re-state

Could you please re-state your computer hardware information? Details about the grapics card and driver version will be most important in this case.

Also, please post a copy of your projectx.log since that might show the specific error point.

pojectx.log and I'm using an Asus g73, windows 7, with an NVidia Geforce GTX460M graphics card =P so I figured it wasn't a graphics card problem or anything...most likely...>.>

Yeah, it looks like you're

Yeah, it looks like you're missing a few files in your resource folder. The game tires to call the missing files and then crashes.

The easiest way to fix this would be to install a copy of the game using the downloadable client, let it patch and then copy the rsrc folder over top the one in the Steam version of the game. Once that is done your Steam game should launch normally and you can discard the extra game copy.

Are you sure that ALL your

Are you sure that ALL your antivirus and firewalls are disabled? Sometimes when you buy a computer, it has extra antivirus programs installed that you don't know about.

What is your router, by the way? We have determined previously that anything in the Linksys/Cisco WRT54G line has issues with the game.

If the steam install is still

If the steam install is still partially intact, you can kick start it by deleting the \rsrc\ folder. This will cause it to fail validation and forces it to download and unpack a fresh archive off the server.
