Entering Mission and Stuck in Paused Mode

[Tikigod]

I recently saved a campaign than crashed me to desktop everytime I tried entering it....I rolled back to my last port thinking that would correct the problem. I no longer CTD but, now when I enter game I am stuck in paused mode and cannot unpause...the button selections appear but, the 3-d room is black like it cant fade into gameplay like it usually does...I can see all my menu options though and they rollout etc like I can play.

This problem happends when I try to launch a single player or academy practice missions as well.....my save happend when I was experiencing sound distortions so Im not sure if that maybe why it is stuck in a paused mode....anyone else come across this stuck in pause mode scenerio? I cannot play at all now no matter what I do.

I have RUB 1.45, HT, and Hollywood Advanced with effects as my major mods. I also launch my game using latest SH3 Commander.
