Default Crysis cannot start

I have tried various ways and it cannot start CRYSIS. I just bought the laptop 2 days ago. Installed latest directX and installed latest drivers for my GPU. Here is the game log.
I'm using vista. Whenever i run it, the screen will go black awhile and then jumps back right out to windows.
I would like to thank anybody out there who could solve this problem.
Please ask me anything you which you want to know further

Easiest Solution:

Stop trying the run it from the 64 bit folder. If you're running Vista64, launch it from the Start->Games the way its meant to be launched and voila, you're running crysis64 (watch your task manager, it'll say crysis.exe *32 then after a few secs it will say crysis64.exe)

Done.

What GPU do you have? You can't run Crysis if it is an integrated or cheappy one. Furthermore, you are having a laptop, so when you say you have the latest drivers for your GPU, what kind of drivers are these? If they are from the laptop manufacturer site they might not do. Maybe you need to download the latest desktop GPU drivers and mod them to work with your laptop.

- What GPU do you have and what driver version do you have installed?
- Did you install the mainboard chipset drivers? If not, install them.
- In this log file I notice weird size of the page file. Set the size of it to AUTO if it is not.

I'm not running on the 64 bit. I'm running crysis on the bin32 folder. Also the shortcut has started that its 32 bit.

Im using drivers from Nvision. Modded one. 174.12 to be exact. I heard it is stable so i used it.

Thanks for replying. I'm still working on a solution.

There is one thing to try, backclick the crysis shortcut, then on the target line
put in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin32\Crysis.exe" +con_restricted 0 +r_Hdrrendering 0 +r_motionblur 0 +r_width 800 +r_height 600
Check if it will start on these lower settings, Crysis may be incorrectly detecting very high system
