It so black! anyone have any ideas?

I downloaded Gameex to test it out for a new htpc build I'm working on. After setting everything up, the program starts, I see the disclaimer and then the screen goes black. I do here some sound though. Is this a common problem? Here's my log file: 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: GameEx: Version 10.09: Starting Log 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Operating System Name: Windows XP 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, 3070MB 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: 2.4Ghz - 4 Cores or CPU's 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Running Randomize() 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Loading PlugIns 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Running Misc startup tasks 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Setting Menu types 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Opening Configuration File 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Getting Configuration Values 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Using Theme: Default - Ultra Edition 22:34:37.7 5/25/2009: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Ultra Edition 22:34:37.8 5/25/2009: Launching HideOS.exe 22:34:37.8 5/25/2009: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 22:34:37.8 5/25/2009: GameEx will check for media insertion (may affect performance) 22:34:37.8 5/25/2009: Hiding Taskbar 22:34:37.8 5/25/2009: Is Media Center running? 22:34:37.8 5/25/2009: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 22:34:37.8 5/25/2009: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 22:34:37.8 5/25/2009: Media Center Mode 2 22:34:37.8 5/25/2009: Video previews on.
