I really want to start playing this game but it wont let me.

from GalCiv2 Forums
Alright so far as i Know regular Gal Civs 2 works fine i havent had any errors yet. DA however wont even let me open it. I open it and it fills part of my screen black and stays there? My machine is more than capable of playing this game im running 8800GTSx2 , a 2.4 GHzIntel E6600, And 2 gig Corsair Ram. id put in my hdds and disk drives if i thought it mattered. Ive reinstalled the game twice to no avail. its still not working and im out of ideas. ive updated them both the most recent builds. thanks
