I tried reinstalling DX9. Didn't help. Also, MS claims that DX11 is backwards compatible anyway. Doesn't work closing it from a window either. Tech support claims that this is the 1st time they've heard of this issue had no other suggestions other than the ones you guys suggested. Making a blank read only cfg text file fixed the issue but I have to re-setup all my user and control settings every time I open the game. There has to be a simple solution. I have trouble believing that this isn't a more common issue than just me and Aviad. MadCatX, I've got an Intel Core I3 2120 chip. I forget if I upgraded the Graphics Card or not, but I believe I'm using the onboard graphics.
