No one knows what the problem is?!?

So I used to play PS on my old computer which had the minimun system specs to run it. It ran, just barely, but it ran. Got a new system and wanted to get back into PS and I have been unable to play thus far. The game installs fine, updates, I click on play, the screen goes black, the music plays, and....nothing happens. The music continues to play but I have to alt-tab out and quit. I've contacted Sony but they've been useless so far, they always ask for the system specs and it always comes down to "you must have a corrupt file, reinstall and it should work." Same thing happens. Soooo, if someone has an idea I would be eternally grateful if we could get this game running again. System specs follow:

BIOS: Pheonix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD AthlonXP 2800+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.1GHz
Memory: 1024MB RAM
DirectX Version: 9.0c
RADEON 9600 SERIES AGP
Internal DAC (400MHz)
WINXP
120GB Hard Drive

Any other information needed I would gladly provide. HELP!

I used to have a problem like that. When I would try to connect, it would lock up. Turns out when you have a firewall blocking PS, it locks up. Check and see if that's the problem.

I have the firewall turned off in the security settings. If theres another step you need to do let me know. Thanks.

Soooo....No one else has any ideas?
