NfSHP Crashes after black screen

Hello,

I've only just purchases the game from the steam store, but whenever I try launching it, I get a black screen and it crashes to the desktop.

My specs are:

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz (2 CPUs), ~1.9GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Card name: Radeon X1950 Pro
DirectX Version: DirectX 11

I've tried the following:

Restared my computer

Started nfs11.exe as an administrator

Tried compatibility mode (windows xp sp3)

Ran steam as an administrator and then tried the game

Updated directx

Updated my video, motherboard and sound drivers

But all no no avail.

My game version is 1.0.5.0s.

What more can i try to be able to play this game?

Thanks in advance.
