black screen with colored lines?

[Raiden_Sola 0]

As soon as the launcher gets the actual game loading, I'm presented with a totally black screen with colored lines where other objects should be.  Text, pictures, even the loadbar for the next screen shows up as a series of green lines.  Everything is still functional (I can highlight buttons and they'll still click) but nothing is remotely visible to be used.  Unfortunately I can't get a picture of the screen, but the spacing of the lines looks very much like this:

 

|  | |  | |||  | | |  | |

 

random intervals, lengths, so forth.  matches up with the objects I'm used to seeing on screen, but nothing coherent

you need to go in windowed mode to play the game

trying that adjustment, but now it wants to get stuck on the checkmark box miniscreen just after the launcher =/

The lines remain, but I was able to get a pic of it this time.  attaching one of such screens I keep seeing

While waiting for further input on this issue (which has not come) I decided to force my download of windows10 which hadn't started automatically yet.  oddly enough, the new operating system seems to have fixed the problem.  Weird that I am for once thanking Microsoft's new OSs instead of cursing their creators
