Menu Background is Missing!!

[Elijah.the.Mango]

I just started AAMFP, and got to the menu. Everything on the menu works except for one thing:the background. It's missing entirely. It's just a black screen. This worries me, and I don't know if this will mess up the rest of the game or not.

Another problem is also, I can't get past the first cutscene. The audio works fine, but (SPOILERS) once it gets to the quote at the beginning, all I see is the red fog that appears, but nothing else. It seems like the game just stops running there and freezes, but I'm still able to get to the menu just fine.

Any replies would be much appreciated.
