-Try different resolutions before launching the game. I found the game was less than graceful dealing with resolutions it didn't like at game launch.

-Quit your video card's taskbar resolution tool. It may be auto-switching you into an unusable resolution/refresh combo. (As a troubleshooting step. Once you find the problem you won't have to jump through hoops.)

Far Cry wouldn't work with my laptop's old built-in Radeon M6 video. I remember some kind of "nice try, g'night" message before it bailed. Their minimum spec says:
Video Card: 64 MB DirectX® 9.0b-compatible graphics card

It'd be worth trying the 1.3 (?) update before giving up. It's a fairly significant (70+MB) patch.
