The problem is that it's hard to find out why it happens on some systems and not on others, especially if you don't have a system that's affected.
This can be anything from driver issues to hardware the game doesn't like.

If nothing else helps, it would be interesting to see if the issue also occurs on a fresh windows installation on the same hardware. I don't expect anyone to be willing to do debugging like that though.

First thing i would try is updating your graphics and sound drivers.
Also running the DirectX updater to be sure everything needed is there.

If that didn't get us any further, a clean boot is another measure that could help narrowing down what's wrong.

Booting clean in Windows Vista / 7:
1. Click Start --> Type msconfig --> Press Enter
2. On the General tab, choose Selective Startup
3. Uncheck Load Startup Items
4. Select the Services tab
5. Check Hide all Microsoft services
6. Click Disable all
7. If running the game on Steam, re-check the "Steam Client Service"
8. Click on OK
9. Click Restart.
10. After reboot, run the game to see if it works.

After performing the necessary steps, restore your settings by doing the following:

1. Click Start --> Type msconfig --> Press Enter
2. On the General tab, choose Normal Startup
3. Click Ok
4. Click Yes, when asked to restart your computer
