Black Screen at Load, but its running in the background with music and motion

So,

I was able to just start the Single player and play for about 30 minutes.

once it was loaded it was fine (fun and beautiful)

so even on Auto graphics it was great once in game

i made and customized the character, and did the dragonagekeep thing and back, and completed meeting my first group.

so, it seems, as long as its in WINDOWED mode and you don't play with the menu too much, you can play just fine.

great looking game. will play a lot more later!
