Any help please.

Are you getting the movies that play during startup, or does it go black just as the videos should start? There is sometimes an issue with the little videos not playing properly, I can't remember exactly why - conflicts with codecs or software or something, but it will cause everything just to freeze up at that point and the game never loads. Usually the easiest solution is just to delete the movies from the game installation and that way they don't even try to play and it solves the problem (if that is indeed the issue).
