Right,
I bought the game Alpha Protocol the other day (through steam) and it installed fine. But when i click play on the Alpha Protocol menu where is says things like Play, Uninstall etc. nothing happens and then i get the message "Alpha Protocol has stopped working" (see attachment). I've checked the problem details bit and this is what it shows,

None of this means anything to me so yeah...
This isn't the only game to have this happen to me. DiRT also does this but the game loads and as soon as i try and start a race, it freezes and then crashes. Any help would be most appreciated!!
Thanks
P.s. Almost all my games are bought through steam just so i don't need to feck around with CD's!!!

I went into Steam and these are the minimum specs for Alpha Protocol:
Supported OS: Microsoft Windows XP® or Windows Vista®
Processor: 2.4+ GHZ Intel® or 2.0+ GHZ AMD™
Memory: 1 GB RAM (Windows XP®,) 2 GB RAM (Windows Vista®)
Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce 6 series (6800GT or better,) ATI™ 1300XT series or greater (X1550, X1600 Pro and HD2400 are below minimum system requirements)
Hard Drive: At least 12 GB of free space
Sound Card: DirectX® 9.0c compatible sound card and drivers
DirectX®: 9.0c
These don't seem all that demanding. What are you running, computer-wise?
