The game won't start(?)

Hey guys! I just recently bought this game and installed without any problems and errors. But when i'm trying to start the game it won't start, the screen just changes to black and stuck there nothing else. I've uninstalled the game (and installed back couple times) and updated my graphic card (Nvidia) and downloaded DirectX 9.0c. Anybody know what might be the problem(s)? Does someone else have the same problem?
Thanks Thanks Thanks....

From support.ea.com

Crashing after a black screen can be caused by a few different things, including (but not limited to) an incompatible video card, older drivers for a compatible video card or sound card, or a corrupted version of Direct X. There are several steps we can take to try and resolve this issue.

* First ensure that all of the games minimum requirements are met.
o The minimum system requirements can be found on the bottom of the game packaging. You can also search our Technical Support database for these requirements.
* Also, be sure you have the latest drivers available for your video and sound card.
o Click here for instructions on updating drivers.
* Make sure any unnecessary background tasks are terminated. These tasks could interfere with the running of the game.
o Click here for instructions on ending your background tasks.
* During installation, on occasion some files that contain graphics for the background, maps, players etc. may not be installed, or copied to the hard drive from the CD rom correctly. You might need to completely uninstall the game try reinstalling it.
