Well I Just Downloaded Sandbox And Everytime I Try To Start It, It Goes To The Loading Screen But Soon After Just Simply Stops Working. No Error Message, Nothing. It Just Simply Goes Away To My Desktop With The Launcher Still Up. My Video Drivers Are All Updated, I Have Windows Vista, I Tried CompatibilIty Settings Such As Run As Windows XP, Run As Administrator But Nothing Seems To Work. Any Help Would Be Amazing.

Do you happen to have an ATI card?

Here is a quote from another post
Hello, I'm new to sandbox and just wanted to let anyone know that is having problems with sandbox not launching if they are running an ATI video card. I found that it wont run unless you disable the Catalyst A.I. After i did that it loaded right up! Hope this helps anyone that has problems running sandbox.
Take care and I hope this helps!

I was under the impression this problem was fixed several months ago

Sorry to bring this up but I am having this same exact issue now. I am running Windows Vista. First time I ran Sandbox was on Windows XP. I have no video card just an integrated graphics chipset, Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family.

jpeg.dll
libogg-0.dll
libpng12-0.dll
libvorbis-0.dll
libvorbisfile-3.dll
mikmod.dll

sandbox_fps

Is all there. This is a fresh install on a laptop running Windows Vista that has plenty of RAM and is using an Intel chipset that has already been mentioned. The symptoms are the one that the original poster posted.

Try using the launcher if you haven't already.
