White screen on start up

[JumpyMonky]

When I start Venice or the original game the game starts up with a white screen and just sits there forever until I exit out of it. It also starts in windowed mode if that helps any. Any solutions?
I would love to play this game with some friends...

A couple things will help us out if you can. Tell some spec for your computer and if you have updated video drivers.
