[Win] Getting a blank screen on win

having a big problem tried the demo and like it so i bought the game, but after i made my first game the screen went blank i can still click to see the research and game history but thats it, then it wont let me press the esc to exit so i have to shut the game down. this has happened more then once, i like the game but at this point theres just no way i can play it so help would be appreciated
