I bought Just Cause 2 via Steam and installed on Windows 7. My video card isn't great, but I could run the 3 test scenes at 30fps at 1280. When I played the game, it ended the first cut scene, I jumped out of the plane, it said loading, and it hung there forever. I restarted the game and the same thing happened.
I read that some other people have the same problem, too. Some suggested deleting the app files, which probably just resets the video setting. That didn't help. Suggestions?
Update: I checked the minimum requirements, and I believe my PC meets them all. I have an ATI Radeon HD 3650 card, and when I lower the resolution it does just fine (30fps) on the benchmarks.

Did you update your video drivers to the latest version?

That'd be the first thing I tried. Beyond that, your video card might be too "minimum" for the game to run -- the 3650 HD is very low end, it was a budget video card in January 2008, and I would not say it has aged like a fine wine in the last 3 years.. you might consider an upgrade to the 5xxx or 6xxx series.
