When I load the game, from the get go I get the blackscreen. It appears
everything else works fine, I can even start a game if I get lucky
clicking randomly for menu options. I have tried altering vsync settings
on my Graphics card to no avial.

I Am operating a Acer extensa 5420. a AMD turion 64 x2  with 2 gigs or ram, and a ATI Radion x 12000. To
my knowledge, all the drivers are up to date.

You mean Radeon X1200? That only supports pixel shader 2.0 and you need at least 3.0.

In concur with Fredvdp. Your videocard/videochip does not meet the system requirements.

I never try keeping track of any company's model numbers, but Acer sells three or four times as many laptops as they sell desktops.   The closest thing to your suggestion is the "Radeon Xpress1200", which isn't a video card, it's just an onboard graphics CHIP, and even if it was the next better such chip, it wouldn't be good enough. 

Onboard chips (also known as "IGPs" for Integrated Graphics Processors) simply aren't intended to use for gaming. 

Th minimum X1n00 card is an X1650 XT model.  Should that Acer happen to be a desktop, it will also have a video bus add-on slot referred to as PCIe(16), and you will be asble to upgrade for as little as $65 or so.  It often is less, when there is a sale or a rebate. 

Laptops sold with only onboard chips aren't equal.  There is no video upgrade for those.  They are disposables, made cheaply as possible by welding everything into a monobloc during assembly.
