i know exactly what it is most likely. id drink to the likely fact that your using onboard graphics. well i had the same problem when i first bought halo ( a time where i knew jack squat bout pc gaming) on the main menu, halo was just a black ring. this was a result of two problems, i had no graphics card (besides onboard) and i had not nearly enough ram. my advice to u, get a fairly decent graphics card, mine is only 128 mb and it plays halo swell, cept no shadows or reflections but i got over it. and then i upgraded my ram to a total of 512. well there u go, go purchase some upgrades, cuz a new driver wont fix this problem, i tried that as well b4 i upgraded.
