herbalbrewedtea Does this happen in a new save too? Please test for comparison's sake.
If the new save is affected, please provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
If the new save is fine, please save your progress, quit, restart your computer, try to load the save again, and let me know whether it works.
