Screen flickers then...nothing

[yamilonewolf]

Hey folks I recently bought this game after reading about it in a magazine. and after the install and everything anytime I try to get the game to run. The screen will flicker to black then im on the desktop looking like nothing happened.

Im running Windows Vista.

Im fairly dense when it comes to computers so Im not sure what information you guys would need to tell me whats wrong, I've tried updating drivers and it didn't help.

Any help would make my day because this game looks amazing.
