Hmmm..... Ok, You can try reinstalling the FULL game again, on some other Hard drive location/folder, if this problem persists. (Don't use the same Windows path/folder. Give the installer a different/new path). Do a FRESH install of the game now, and after installing try using the DEFAULT in-game Video settings, IF you can reach the Main MENU.
Do you have the Retail copy, or you downloaded this game from STEAM, D2D etc. ? Have you tried Launching the game under 'Windows XP SP3 Compatibility Mode ' ? If you can somehow manage to play AC2, then this game
should also run on your Graphics processor.
On a side note, Update/install the DirectX 9 files from here, if needed:
