Has it ever worked for you on this PC, or is this a fresh install? If it ever worked, what change or update broke it?
 
I have a similar problem. My screen also goes black and nothing happens. The only way to quit the program is to press the windows button and close the window. I get the typical windows relpy "This program isn't responding" (not sure if that is what it actually says in english). Next the intro vidioes start up, but I don't enter the game afterwards. The game has been working fine the weeks before that. I have installed and reinstalled the game several times after that, but nothing has changed.
The only thing I remember doing between time the game worked and now is downloading IE 7, but I don't see how that could have influenced the game.

Edit: Sorry, must have missed part 5 of the "Read, before posting".
Edit2: I'm such a noob, the advise about renaming my folder, helped me.
