Walking Dead(PC) Black Screen

Hey guys, sorry for another thread about this bug but I need some help. I have the game from steam on the PC. I was having the walkingdead.exe problem and i followed the guide on the forums and changed the compatibility to 98/ME. It deleted my saves, which wasn't a big deal, but when i played through the game again when i got to episode 2 i got the black screen with the axe. And now when i try to go back to episode 1 I get a black screen as well.

I followed all the instructions on the forums. I've moved the prefs.prop from the steam folder to the TTG folder and vice versa, I've started a new game and then but my previous saves from a renamed folder into the new save folder, all no to avail.

My video cards are up to date and my computer exceeds the recommended settings. I emailed TTG support on the 23rd but unfortunately I haven't gotten any response beyond the auto confirmation

I love the game and wanna be able to play episode 3 as soon as possible so any help would greatly be appreciated.

    I'm getting this too.

    I've attached an image

    EDIT

    Ok.... this was weird. So it turns out the game download off steam successfully but not completely. I verified the game files and apparently there were missing files. I have no idea why steam would tell me the game downloaded ok and we let me "play" it.

    I got mine working today, unfortunately it requires deleting all your saves. What I did was I uninstalled the game (have it on steam and running it compatible with 98/ME) then after it was uninstalled I went to the TellTaleGames(where the saves are) folder in "my document" and deleted it. Then I went to the steam files [steam->steamapps->common] and deleted the walking dead folder. Reinstalled the game on steam and started a new game and I got all three episodes to work. There seems to be some sound hiccups in episode 1 but the other two seem pretty clear of them. Hope this helps anyone, but be aware you lose all your saves and need to start from episode 1 again
