WC3 Won't Start Up...

Okay, so I just buy Warcraft 3, Install it and click the icon. The Blizzard Intro logo pops up, then the nice movie of the soldier and orc grunt fighting plays, then blam-o! A flicker on the screen, my mouse cursor pops up, and I'm left with the black screen. No Keyboard commands work, esc, control-alt-delete, nothing. I have to completely turn off and then on the comptuer to do anything. My mouse can move while it's stuck like this, but that's about it.
I have a Hewett Packer with windows 98, an ATI Rage 128 8MB Graphics Card, a 550 MHz Pentium 3, 19 GB Harddrive with about 4.5 gigs free, 24x/10x/40x Sony CD RW/R Drive, with Direct X 9.0
I don't think sound is the problem because the movies play fine.
If any help can be offered, i'd GREATLY appreciate it, thanks.
