Fable: TLC Startup Problem (Black Screen)

Okay so my problem is this:
I installed Fable TLC with no problems, I go to play it and upon start up it just sits at a Black Screen, there's no sound, video or anything it's just a Black Screen.
I waited a couple minutes just in case, unfortunatley nothing happens. So I end the program and the little error report comes. However evertime I go to start it up again. It says do you wish to run in Safe Mode and what not etc.

I hit Safe Mode but the same thing happens. Any help will be Greatly! Appreciated.

Here's some of my PC Specs:

CPU: 2 processors running - Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz
CPU Speed: 2.80 GHz Performance Rated at 4.20 GHz
RAM: 511 MB
Video Card: RADEON 9200 SERIES
Video RAM: 128MB
Vertex Shader Ver.: 1.1
Pixel Shader Ver.: 1.4
Sound Card: SoundMAX Digital Audio

I am aware that this may not be the best PC for gaming but accoring to a Website called "Can You Run it" My PC passes minimum requirements.

Help Please!

Hmmm... Try reinstalling the game. Hopefully that works...

I've tried re-installing it many times, but I still get the same result.
P.S Forgot to mention I'm using XP.

Yeah I'm pretty sure my drivers are up to date. And so is my Direct X which is 9.0 I think.

Try this to check your drivers. The free ones are the most important ones,
 
Re: Fable: TLC Startup Problem (Black Screen)

Yeah, according to that my drivers are up to date.

Almost same problem. Up-to-date drivers on my geforce 9400 GT, just bought Fable: TLC, and am extremely disappointed to see that MS's support is either going to cost me $60 or tell me repeatedly that it's a driver problem.

Starting the game gives me a black screen, no sound, and something like a hyperlink apparently in the center of the screen, the only visible thing is my mouse pointer, which changes when I mouse over on it.
