i ran the sfc and the small black screen disappears before i can read it. I re-installed the driver / driver updater(firmware) 3 times, each time using freshly downloaded drivers (just in case idk) just before i saw your reply. The first time i wasnt certain i "ran as admin" the drivers when i started them up, so i repeated the process to be certain, and then i tried running as xp sp2 with the compatabilty troubleshooter but didnt help. also i happened to try playing with reduced resolution once too, but no change. something i did notice though, after you install the 3.00 drivers it asks you to reboot, and when it boots it detects the device and installs drivers (again?)(windows generic?) So, i then went to my device manager and it shows there to be two mice, one as razer gaming device and the other as a deathadder mouse. I thought maybe this could be the source of conflict. razer responded informing me that "we will escalate your case to our tier 3 group." So i will keep you posted on that info as well.
