I have the same exact problem. I'm guessing that I've set the game to a resolution my system can't handle. Now it won't display. When I run it I just get the little Bioshock logo then nothing. I uninstalled and it didn't it didn't help.

I wish I could play it

if the problem is the resolution, you could try running it in 640x480 to get into the game to change the settings.

go to (Windows Logo)/Start then to Computer:: then go to your Hard Drive (most of the time is labeled as C:: Program Files(x86):: 2K Games :: Bioshock :: Builds :: Release :: Then right Click the Bioshock Application icon (it was second on the list on my computer, so it might be the same on yours) then go to Properties after you right click it and then choose the Compatibility tab at the top then select "Run in 640x480 screen resolution"

hopefully this helps

It starts, but still crashes on resolution change, (playing on 640x480 is weird)
but thx anyway. :|
BTW i found out 1440x900 DOES work at windowed mode, but playing like that sucks too
