R2E Not starting...

Here's the deal... before I reformatted I had no problem with R2E on Windows XP... I format, install the latest Nvidia drivers on my GeForce FX5600 256MB card and try to run R2... no go. I registered, and I put in all my reg info correctly... start the vis, the window comes up but it doesn't initialize anything.... however my logfile shows no errors and it starts up like normal no problems in the logfile. I can't figure out whats going on.... any ideas?
