Black Screen In-game

[AdamB]

hi all, after installing the new patch i went to play the game imediately. I got to the splash screens and a red box on a black background appeared. Strange i thought but i could live with that. Then i went to play a quick mission to test the performance. I loaded the level and was about to click fly when i noticed that the map hadnt appeared. Again strange but considering this was a beta patch i thought that to be fine. BUT... when i clicked fly to finally get in game i went straight to the desktop. The game still ran in the background and i could hear the sounds when i fire and move but i couldnt see anything because the game minimised itself and would not re-open.

Has anyone got any more ideas because this is the last straw and im bitterly disappointed with this.
