Just wanted to update by saying that as far as I can tell, Fixer is correct. It's the drivers for the graphic card that are causing the issue. The in-game graphics have been updated/supported with new versions to suit new graphics cards, but certain menu's are not. This would help explain why in-game graphics are top notch and only a select few of the menu graphics(rider/bike) work but other non-graphic intensive menus(type of race/location) do not display at all.
I've been questing for older versions of the graphic drivers but have found nothing thus far. I'm definitely going to keep looking. I'm also going to keep blindly entering through the menu into multi-player games as I wrote down which key strokes it takes to get into this type of game - Weeeeeeeee!
Thanks again for the guidance from this forum, ya'll have been astoundingly helpful. Hopefully others in my shoes will find this thread helpful and use it to trouble shoot.
