My first guesses would be...
1. Corrupt data. Either the file is missing for some reason, or can't be read
2. Memory issues, The game requires A LOT of graphics RAM, not so much with the demo, but still a fair bit. it is possible if you're using shared memory for an onboard card, or just a rather old system, that you don't have enough graphics RAM.

As the previous person stated, System information would be useful, such as RAM, Graphics, CPU and OS (Version of Windows, Linux, or MacOS and if it is 32bit or 64bit).
