A white screen usually means your video card is not new enough to run the game.  But just to be sure, can you post the contents of your debug.err file.  The file can be opened with notepad and is located here: "documents/my games/polmachine2008/debug.err".  The file will have system specs as well as game messages.

The debug.err is just a text file with a funny extension. When windows asks what to do with it, pick the option to choose from a list and select Notepad.
