Problem with Black and White 2

[Chev]

Okay, I've made Can You Run It test before getting the game. It never lied to me. After installing it, I've made "Diagnose" (the option in gaming CD launcher), and everything looks in order.

The problem starts after the splash screen. The loader passes and that Lionhead logo with mini physics engine appears. But it never disappears. It spins, spins, spins, spins... and never stops. I've waited for about pair of minutes, but nothing did happened. I've tried launching "Battle of Gods" expansion, and still the same. What I'm supposed to do? Should I wait more?

Help, pl0x. I've searched interwebz and found no answer.
