As for what specific solution, I wouldn't know, but two pieces of advice: Sometimes the startup the first time you run the game can take several minutes of just a black screen or white screen, I would just run it and then go do something else for 15-20 minutes, see if it's running when you get back. If it's still not working, it sounds like an extraction error, which can only be resolved by either extracting it again (be sure you're using the latest version of 7zip, that seems to work best for this one).
I'm pulling the following straight from page 1's FAQ, feel free to go through it may prove useful.
