Fifa 09 (PC) not loading background

I have had the game for 3/4 weeks now and it ran perfectly at first but 2 days ago i started it up and the background didnt load up, it just said "loading" in the bottom left of the screen and never loaded up. I could still navigate through the game, just there was no background picture. I could play matches perfecly as well, however if I went on any of the tables nothing would show up and I couldn't navigate from that screen-the game hadn't frozen, i could use the widgets and quit the game normally, but couldn't go back-this became a problem in manager mode.
I have done a full system scan and scanned the game for viruses and nothing showed up.
