Also tried reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86. When I run it w/out any special settings (just set to run as an admin), I don't get the error message, it just pops up a black window screen for a second and crashes to desktop.

When I try to run the program, the game launches in a window and promptly CTDs. I get this error message:
"requires DirectX 8 or later, found 7.04.00.1792"
My Machine:
Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
Intel i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60 GHz
32 Gb RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 680
DirectX 11
Which has me scratching my head, as you'd think DX11 would count as "later," lol (doesn't have any problems running Far Cry 3, so I'm guessing DX11 is working). Tried running it in 256-color mode, disabled visual themes/desktop composition, and ran it as an admin in Win98 compatibility mode. Broke my heart when it crashed, as MC2 is one of those games that brings back fond memories. Any help would be awesome.
