Thanks for the suggestion OdDeSeY. Wasn't the solution though
I did fix the problem after several attempts. Had to put 2 different additional .dll files in the pt folder.
Before i got this far, i actually got the blue screen of death when i was attempting to go to an earlier savepoint of my pc (this was not due to the 2 folders, but because i attempted to do a rollback and it failed).
The folders i needed to add were d3d9.dll and D3DX9_43.dll (forgot where i downloaded it from).
Since i saw alot of posts similar to mine without a proper answer/solution i hope this will work
