problems after update

So I bought Trinity over the summer, and it was working fine.  I just now tried to update the game so I could try the multiplayer, and I was told to reinstall the game.  Okay, so I did.  Now, when the game boots up, it goes to the Diplomacy main menu automatically, but there are no buttons on the menu.  If I hit enter, It takes me to the 'New Game' screen, and I can play games I've saved or start a new game.  However, I can't access anything other than this menu.  Is this because of the update?  And is there any way to remove it?
