I ran depency walker on Demigod.exe and demigod stub.exe

For Demigod.exe

MSS32.DLL Error opening file. The system cannot find the file specified (2)

a whole slew of functions

DWMAPI.DLL Error opening file. The system cannot find the file specified (2)

DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea

Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.

For STUB

DWMAPI.DLL Error opening file. The system cannot find the file specified (2)

DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea

Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.

I also followed the instructions on how to repair IE7 .DLL's and reinstalled my Nvidia drivers.

I hope this helps
