When I try to launch UT3 it goes to a black screen and the only way to get back to the desktop is to do a hard reboot. As far as I can tell I meet or exceed the min requirements. My specs are:

P4 2.8
1 GB ram
NVIDIA 6600 video card

I also reinstalled a current version of Direct X before posting. Any ideas?

Sorry, to excited to play. I found someone having this same issue on the Epic board. What I did was found my UTEngine.ini file and set bInitializeShadersOnDemand=True

This fixed the problem for me. Here is the link to the other board:
