Assassin.ini file; breaks slightly slower than the default one

I have this problem too, on an ATI 4870, but with a little jiggery-pokery I can
get slightly further.

When the game is installed, the Assassin.ini config file (where the graphics
options are stored, among other things) is almost totally unpopulated, and
presumably when starting up, the game begins with nonminimal defaults, which
cause the breakage.

By downloading someone's posted-on-the-internet Assassin.ini, and tinkering, I
was able to get past the initial white screen lockup, and traverse a few
options, including setting graphics options and creating a profile. However,
clicking 'New Game' goes back to a lockup, similar to the first one, but with
an added cursor on the screen. I like to think of that cursor as a sign of
progress.

The file can be found in c:\users\<whatever it is you call
yourself>\Application Data\Ubisoft\Assassin's Creed\Assassin.ini 

The line that caused the problem was "PostFX=1". Replacing it with "PostFX=0"
gets me past the first white-screen lockout.

Maybe someone can use this info to investigate a bit further and find out what
the problem is, or at least tinker enough to get a workaround
