@mcsupersport I'm not all that tech savvy so I definitely wouldn't have thought or even known to do this, but it worked like a charm! I was able to launch and load my game like nothing had ever happened.
I had to reset my settings to where I like them again (of course), but I made sure to stay away from the graphics settings this time lol.
Thank you so much for not only supplying such a simple and straight-forward fix, but also doing it so quickly! I was expecting that I might have to wait for a few days before I heard anything back so this was definitely a nice surprise. ^-^
Once again, thank you for your help and happy gaming!
