Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I don't think it is.
Probably IS the wrong forum lol, but who am I to say as I'm new here too. As for your problem, if you experience the following when you first installed the game:

1)The land on the campaign map is very dark, though you may be able to see something if you turn the contrast on your monitor way up.
2) Cities, characters and such are very bright by comparison.
3) There are no coloured boundaries between regions.
4) textures on the battlemap don't display properly

those are clear signs you need to update your video drivers. If that's not it, well then, I don't know either.
