Un-install. Delete Total war directory. Re-install.

See if that helps. Could just be a corrupt file or such and a reinstall will fix that. If not, it's a bigger, wierder, problem.

Colt.

P.s. Unfortunately, this method means you'll have to unlock the faction again, but as someone said, there is a method of unlocking them by modding a single file, (tis easy, I have done it myself). Check the mods section of the forums.
