Happened to me too, when I changed my primary monitor.
You'll have to re-install.

If you run DXDIAG and the tests all pass and all other games work, then it should be the game installation.

There may be some registry entries left after using the regular uninstaller.
Cleaning out those should help.
Before you do that, make sure that you have your serial number handy, you'll need it after that clean-up.
Don't forget to reboot before you re-install.

Good luck!
