Start up crash?

[ScubaSteveMB]

I seem to be having a bit of an issue with starting my recently purchased copy of Civ 5 (Steam)
I've scoured the internet for any sign of a solution, however sadly all I ever find in return is to update my directx and reinstall/reboot. After doing this too many times to count, I decided to make an account here and ask you fine gentlemen, because sadly I trust you more than those on the Steam/2K forums. DxDiag is included, and help is gladly appreciated.

Your graphics card driver could be newer.

Depending on what exact time point the crash appears, you should look into your Civ5 folder (somewhere in the Steam subfolders; check also the G&K subfolder if you own it) and delete the .wmv intro movie files out of it.
