Togainu No Chi issue: blank screen

I looked all over the forum and couldn't find this exact issue addressed anywhere else, so I'm hoping you guys can help me! I got TNC installed and running just fine, but then when I try to install the english patch it doesn't run right anymore. It plays the music for the start screen but there are no graphics, it's just a black rectangle. I can right click and bring up the menu (which is in english at this point) but I don't have any game saves to load from. What do I do! My OS is Vista, btw and I'm using Daemon tools.

Thank you! >_>
