Firstly, please make sure that your PC meets the The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings system requirements

If the requirements are met please try the solutions below:

1. Reinstall your GPU drivers. To do so completely follow these steps: 

  1. Download newest drivers for your GPU, but don't install them yet. 
  2. Download Display Driver Uninstaller and run it to remove previous versions of drivers. 
  3. Clean install drivers that you've downloaded in step 1.

2. Uninstall all of the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables that you have installed.
Once it's done install the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages from the link below starting from the oldest ones (skip the "arm" files). Launch all the executables as Administrator.
