So i bought Rage through steam the other day, downloaded it, but when i i click "Play" Rage Loads up, screen goes black, then it says "Rage has stopped working" and i have to close it.

How can i get it to work?

available.

I also purchased Rage through Steam and it will not load. I get the same message "Rage has stopped working" Then "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close program and notify you of a solution if available". Which it evidently isnt because they dont notify me I have played many games throug Steam on this computer and never had a problem. Hopefully there is just a setting that is not right. Can anyone help?
