Well after 2 days I have finally managed to get passed the blank screen. Here is how I believe I did it. I reduced the resolution to 1366X768 and the Scale to 100%. I started TT and the blank screen came up and froze. So I right clicked outside the activation screen (as one of the fixes described) and the activation screen appeared. But it would not take any inputs, no it wasn't just invisible, it was frozen and would not accept my code. I closed TT and restarted it again. This time when the blank screen appeared, I double clicked quickly on the blank screen and the information came up and accepted the code and, Wah-Lah, I am in.
I had tried this before and not sure why it worked this time, but an thankful as I like TT, but this time it used a lot of my time and seems to me this problem has been around for awhile and shouldn't be in a production released software.
