When I run the demo, I get a blank screen with a Pop-up: RwEngineStart()
I clock OK and it closes.
The "Check System Requirements" is all OK.

If you are using a proggie to lock refresh rate disable it. It will fix your problem. I was using reforce and getting the same error

Well, and how do you disable it ? It just removed the unused resolution, you can't disable it.
On my computer, I have:
[...]
640x480x100Hz
800x600x100Hz
1024x768x100Hz
1280x960x100Hz
1280x1024x100Hz
Every other game works, only the Settlers 5 demo crash... I'm not bringing back lame 60Hz modes only for a demo (and the Settlers 5 retail...), I'll wait for a fix.

judging by previous bb games, you could be waiting a long time [look at settlers 4 with hyper threading]

Byebye to settlers 5 then, I won't even bother waiting.
ps to BB: The problem happened in Half-Life 2, they fixed it in 24h...
