TGB crashes on startup

Hi all, I just licenced and downloaded the INDIE licensed version of TGB yesterday (and the adventure starter kit). (This is version 1.1.3, though I've tried uninstalling and installing the beta instead with the exact same results)
I'm having an issue where TGB seems to crash on initially loading - it doesn't throw up a crash dialog, but after launching I get an hourglass for roughly five seconds... and then nothing at all. No splash screens, no interface, no popup telling me anything has crashed.
So I assumed I had some weird stuff going on with drivers. In order to make *sure* everything was cleared off my development machine, I did a reformat/reinstall of XP. Updated all drivers to the most recent possible - exact same symptoms.
Here are the machine specs:
OS: Windows XP, SP2, all updates installed
Motherboard: Asus P5N32-SLI SE
GPU: NVIDIA 7950 GX2
4GB RAM
I can upload my dxdiag file if needed - it's a bit long to post here in its entirety.
(Someone also mentioned a private forum that should be more responsive? I see the private forum for the adventure starter kit, but not for TGB.)
Any and all help is appreciated.

(It's also possible that whatever is going wrong is happening before that file gets written - I searched the whole drive for that file name with no hits)
Thanks,

EDIT:
Seems to be sorted. The problem was a USB device that I had neglected to unplug that seems to have been causing DirectInput to blow up.
Not exactly a graceful way to deal with an unrecognized device...

Thanks, I'll repost in there. I'm not seeing a file named console.log anywhere - where should it be?(It's also possible that whatever is going wrong is happening before that file gets written - I searched the whole drive for that file name with no hits)
Thanks,
Dan
