Black screen. Help needed.

[urafoot]

Recently got the game, and now, everytime i try to play it, the screen goes black (with exeptions from a white dot in the middle and the notebook icon in the corner. also the text shows. my computer should be able to handle this game fairly easily. ill try to add a picture of it. the sound works, and as i walk around, i can hear my footsteps. the hand appears too, when there is a door/item i can pickup. Please help! ill try to add a picture of how it is. (also its not the brightness of the game (ithink))
