Torque 3D Demo crashes on Windows 7

I downloaded the demo and when I try to launch a game from the tool box, it will crash. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know how it can be fixed?

Nope - I can run it fine on 7 64-bit. Is there any sort of identifiable error message? Does it say anything unusual in the console.log?

Make sure your video drivers, DirectX runtime, and PhysX drivers are up to date.

From where the log cut off I'm betting you need to update your Nvidia driver.
