HOLY CRAP I literally just went through the same thing with mine! I bought the game today and installed as normal and the start up screens looked like this....
I tried changing skins, screen formats...you name it!
I am so glad I found this thread because I realized my installation location had "Joseph's Games" in my hard drive. Would of never thought an apostrophe could cause havoc in the functioning of a game. I almost punched a hole in the screen
