Black screen main menu

Howdy Ill give my pc specs before I get to detailed into the issue at hand

AMD 64x2 4400 ~2.2Ghz
3.5 GB ram
Nvidia 8800gts 320mb
Windows Vista 32 bit
Sound Blaster Fatality edition

Now for the issue, I recently bought silent hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific because I loved SH3. After installing the game which nothing went bad or weird during the install I fired up SH4 and saw the intro and other movie I soon skipped this and tried to go to the main menu to which I got a black screen and what I am assuming as the main menu sounds are there. I ctrl-alt-deleted and exited the program then updated the game to version 1.4. I have the same issue I have also deleted the movie intro as I have seen thats what people have told people what to do when they encounter the problem that I am having. I am hoping that one of you can hel me resolve my issue.
