Did you try running the game as the administrator? Thats an issue with alot of older steam games on vista. If not that then try to defragment the Cache by right clicking the game/properties/defragment cache

[cacrawford]

well there isnt really an admin setup on my computer,
its just the one user
and i did try to defragment it
and i forgot to add that when the game starts up after clicking on new game, in white letters at the top it says "Node Graph Out Of Date, Rebuilding"
also after i ctrl alt del, it gives me a notice stating that igfx display driver had stopped responding but had now recovered
