Black screen issues

[Kamov13]

Hi,
I've just bought this game today and i've noticed this problem. I've read the technicial help thread and it mentions driver updates. I rolled back the driver and still had an issue. I even updated to the latest driver and it still didn't work. However that was when I went into the options menu when I clicked on 'pilot' and 'plane'
When I actually started a mission, it loaded and I was promptly put back to the previous screen before loading, however I could hear the game sounds and when I went to the game menu via Esc it went to the pause menu.
