    go to: %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/system_options.xml

    either delete the file OR find the line that looks like:
    <device>OpenGL</device>
    and make it:
    <device>D3D9</device>

    I would try installing this:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3387

    it would also help if you could tell us what is in %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/log.txt

    You are still trying to run in OpenGL mode.

    I would try deleting the system_options.xml file. Then run the game again.

    Also try this:
    Try resetting your options file. Delete this folder: /Steam/userdata/<steamid>/4920 (resets options by generating a new options.xml the next time you start NS2)

    Disable Steam cloud for NS2 before you do that ;)
