@puzzlezaddict - The framework was fully turned on just like you said. So, all the pieces of the game are there. However, when I tried to open the Radeon software, I was met with an error saying the versions are mismatched, so I am going to have to update the drivers for the software. I'll give the game another try after the update to see if that solves the problem. If not, the last thing I am going to try is to run it in compatibility mode for Windows 7. If none of that works, I am going to stop trying to get it to work on this machine.
By the way, I did go to Nexus' site to look for the potential fix you suggested. I didn't see it. But that's okay, I've decided not to try it. After installing TS3 I am suddenly getting odd behavior from the PC so I may end up having to uninstall it after all. Still, no matter what happens, I want to take the time to thank you for all you have done and are currently doing to help me get TS3 running on this system. I really do appreciate your help.
I'll update this thread after I try the update or compatibility mode should the update not work. Give me a couple of days to report back as I'm a bit busy with real life at the moment.

@mw1525 Whenever you do get back to this, if you want to try something random, install Seasons and see what happens. Another player in a different thread said they had weirdly low-quality graphics in Map View until they installed Seasons. I don't know why this would be, and they had both a different issue than you and a different GPU, but it would be easy enough to try, especially if the next step is uninstalling the game.
I'll PM you the link to the GPU Add-on tool in case you change your mind about using it or at least want to see what it is.
