I don't have them, there's no folder in my documents for Paradox. I assumed these logs and settings files were created on the first run. Since I haven't been able to run the game, I assumed that's why it didn't exist. If I'm incorrect, I'd be happy to try and do something else.

Try this:

Create a file called userdir.txt beside the .exe file(i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\crusader kings ii)

Edit the file and write something like "C:\MyCK2Dir"(without the quotes), and then save the file. Restart the game. Is anything written to C:\MyCK2Dir?

I installed the game in my laptop (vista 32 bit, nvidia 8700M GT) as well. The map does not show the borders and everytime I move the mouse cursor, the borders (sea and land) flicker.

This is most likely due to using Nvidia BETA drivers and/or setting multisample to 8
