i'm on XP Pro and it's happening to me too. it just hangs on the splash screen. i uninstalled and reinstalled 3DMark and i tried with both the beta driver and the new 7.11 driver. i haven't been able to run 3DMark since i got my new cards. i have no idea why.

i'm dllin this now to test the new clocks on my cards, i'm using vista 64bit U so it looks like i'm going to have a few problems....

I got it to work. There is a hot fix for it at futuremark.com

I had that problem before the hotfix came out, when I was on vista32. one of the polling dll's was hanging.. I simply renamed Direcpll.dll and it fixed the hang.

but it looks like they hotfixed it since, like said above.
