I blame GFWL

So what happens exactly when you try and update the game?
Try downloading the latest version of GFWL.

Well, the problem is that all of the games menu's are black, and none of the game's Text appears.  As if I'm missing visual layers, or something..  they're just.. not there.  The only way I know I'm at the character select, is because I see the portraits..  over a black screen.  And, everything is completely mute.

Other than updating graphics and sound drivers I don't really know of any fixes, not without sitting down and looking at the problem myself anyway. I assume you are using a laptop so you could try checking you power managemnent settings as they might be limiting the GPU or something. 

Edit: try posting in the CAPCOM forum they have a massive thread for issues in he PC version http://www.capcom-unity.com/street_fighter/go/thread/view/7411/27973929/SSFIV:AE_PC_Issues_-_One_thread_to_rule_them_all?pg=1

Also try looking at this thread

Seems like the PC version is just a buggy mess all round, I mean a 103 page thread for a game that probably sold less than 100k copies on PC? that is insane...

I'm on a desktop, and this computer's not letting me update my drivers, my anti virus software, or perform a windows update... It's not letting me update a damn thing.  I give up.

Sounds like your problem has less to do with PC gaming and more to do with having a brokendown PC.

Which is what I was going to suggest might be the case.
