[PC] Need for Speed - Black Screen on Load

Hey peeps. I've been playing NFS for a few days on my PC with zero issues, works really well. So I moved over to my laptop as I'm visiting friends and decided to bring NFS with me. It downloaded fine, no issues, but I'm getting a black screen on load. Before that, the screen flickers for a split second as though its trying to go fullscreen but can't.

Thing is, I can still hear sound in the background, and the game responds to inputs, just no visuals. Not even intro videos 'show'. I'd be happy to even get it running in windowed mode!

Any suggestions short of reinstalling the game? I play BF4 on here and thats Frostbite also, so I cant imagine it's an engine issue...

EDIT: Okay, seems like BF4 is also doing the same thing. What the deuce, dodgy drivers?

I'm running the following and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics drivers:

i7 4720HQ

16GB DDR3 Memory

960M 4GB

512GB PCIe SSD

Thanks.

    Just an update, wasn't drivers, was a bit of software called DUET I had installed, that on a whim, I uninstalled as it allowed me to use an iPad as a second monitor.

    Uninstalled it, all works fine. Hope that helps anyone, fullscreen NFS now works :D
