Can't run 3dmark 11? Click shortcut but nothing happens.

Hi,

For some reason I can't run 3d mark11 as when ever it starts the cursor changes to the one with the blue circle next to it and then goes back to normal without starting the benchmark.  This is very frustrating as I would love to compare my new system to my old one. Can anyone please help?

Regards,

Hi

It would sound like it has not installed properly in the first place. Also check that you have the latest version of DirectX installed and that it nis running correctly. Make sure that your anti virus etc isn't stopping it from running.
