DanteC: Nearly every fix I've found is for the Steam version, such as adding a new settings.dat file with a profile file, which, because the GOG version has it somewhere else, I can't find. Is there any up-to-date fixes for the GOG version?
I also bought a copy over the weekend, and I am not able to run it either. I get the following message:
SR2_pc.exe has stopped working
Check online for a solution and close the program
Close the program
My computer is an Intel i7, 16gb, Win7-64, Nvidia GeForce GTX 760.
I've tried various compatibility options, run as admin, etc..... no luck. I've done some searching, but the most I could find was a comment that the game doesn't work on 64 bit machines.
I have a dual boot with Windows 8.1, so I can give it a shot there and see if it works. It's still 64 bit, though.

Okay, good news. I believe the reason why it isn't working is due to it defaulting in full-screen mode. I managed to find a link on the Steam Forums for a "settings" data file to put into your C:\Users\[profile name]\AppData\Local\THQ\Saints Row 2\
After I did that, I was able to get SR2 working. From there, I had to use my keyboard to move around the menu, but I could then change the video settings to match my desktop. I still have it in Window mode. I've read that you can switch it to full-screen after loading it once, but I think I'll make a backup of that Settings file beforehand.
Here is the page that I found the fix on:
