I tried playing freelancer and when it launches, it just gets stuck at a black screen. If I use the launcher, I click "Play Freelancer," then the big black box shows up in the middle of my screen that says Freelancer in it, then my whols screen changes, like it should, but instead of starting the intro playing, the screen just stays black and doesn't do anything.

I have played this game on this computer dozens of times before, and I don't recall doing anything that should have effected the game files in any way. Unless I accidentally deleted a shared file. I'm going to try reinstalling. Does anyone know if that will work or what the problem is?
