Have you downloaded the latest patches for GOW? Have you tried to uninstall, remove all folders associated with GOW (important!), and then reinstall? Are you using any form of crack or trainer, or other 3rd party program with the game?
I have tried reinstalling and it is a legal copy no other mods or packs. I cant find any patches but I believe it should just patch itself automatically with a windows live account. I have admin rights on the computer.
This is really bugging me. The only thing I can think is to update the rest of my MB drivers.

If it's Vista, I think it makes a difference if you right click and select "run as admin" even if you technically are an admin. Worth a try, anyway. I don't use Vista myself, so I could be completely off my rocker.
I did find a link in the FAQ saying that "Certain hardware configurations would stop working with Vista" and there was a Windows hotfix which resolved this.
Unfortuantely it gave no info on the configs that cause the problems and when I installed the hot fix and four other optional vista updates my system refused to shut down and now wont boot!!!!
I can get in safe mode so will have to do a system restore over the weekend then try and reinstall the updates. if that doesn't work then I will try reinstalling as admin.

Try running as admin, see if that helps. Google search on this one is sporadic, at best.
