My video driver is 186.18, the latest whql release. I have tried manually changing the config file from shader 4 to shader 3 with no luck. The shader 4 error goes away but the game still crashes without showing any signs of running. I tried to run the patch and it tells me the game is not installed. So I figured why not. I uninstalleed it and reinstalled with all the same problems.

Hardware specs
Q6600
evga 780I motherboard
2 gig ocz reaper
2x gtx-260 core 216 in sli

Had also tried the demo previously with older video drivers and a pair of 8800gt video cards with the same result.

Any suggestions please. As much as I got this game free with my video card purchase it still chafes me to not be able to play it.

Try to run the game without SLI, but this is really strange. And the latest patch is alsready implemented in your version. In any case I advice you to contact our support (support@1cpublishing.eu).
