Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (x86) redistributable
link (not sure if its still there):

If not use google or microsfot search.

There could be a problem with intel graphic card.

I have been trying to run both the game and editor on my laptop with similar specs and it is very flaky. Both run great on my PC (intel Q9400 and nvidia GTX570).

If you are using a display port replicator (docking station) then it will break everything.

Same problem here: When I want to start the game, a window is opened (strangely called MechCommanderOmnitech/303) and closed. That's it. C++ is installed. What am I missing?!

I too am getting the same problem can't even run MechCommander 2 retail because of the same problem. Open's up a black box says MechCommanderOmnitech/303 at the top and then just closes, same with Mechcommander2. I am running on a 4670k with a 780ti at 1920x1080p. I Also have C++ 2010 x86 install and updated.

Well, I got MCO to run on my WinXP laptop, but not on my Win7 one. I reinstalled c++, tried different screen resolutions - no way, problem persists!

When trying to start the game a window "MechCommanderOmnitech/303" is opended, and closed. No error message or anything...
