Welcome to the board, gdawg49!!!
Can you tell us a bit about your computer, OS, memory, video/sound cards?
Just off the top of my head it sounds like the full install didn't take properly and may have to be done again, but any additional information you can give us will be helpful.
You might also want to cross post this into Sazerac's techie help desk thread. Saz (and many others here too!!) is excellent with the technical difficulties, a talent I sadly lack!
