Black Screen on boot.

[SGTDiphthong]

So, when I try to boot the game through steam, the launcher comes up normally, and I'm able to fiddle with all of the settings. When I try to launch the game, the fullscreen window comes up, but remains black. It stays black until I either stroke the windows key and minimize it, alt+tab it, or try to press shift+tab to bring up the steam overlay. No crash log is given.

Using the first two methods, the game minimizes correctly, and when I bring the window back up, it shows the initial gamma settings page, but I cannot move the mouse, and the image is stuck wherever it is. Minimizing the window again will typically shift the mouse from where it was stuck. Using the shift+tab method typically freezes the game up and I have to end the process. Although once it behaved similarly to the alt+tab method, though with a weird black bar running across the center of the screen.

I've reinstalled, used steam to check the integrity of the install, and have updated my video drivers to the most recent version.
