Game will not start

I recently bought Sins from Target and have been trying for the past two days to get it working and am all out of ideas. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT video card, and a NVIDIA 680I SLI motherboard with on board audio. I have updated my audio, video and chipset/motherboard drivers. I have to most recent update of the game. I also upgraded to DirectX 10. I have Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2. Every time I try to play the game I get a wait cursor for 1-5 seconds and then nothing happens at all. Once the screen turned black but that has never happened again. I have checked to forums and all I can find is to update all of my drivers. Let me know if I can provide more information. If there is anything you can do to help me that would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have the slightest clue if it will work, but you may want to go to the user.setting file and disable all the intro videos and if it's windowed or not.
(C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting)
Search for ShowIntroMovies and VideoIsWindowed.
