Any Skyrim players?

On my old PC I'm loaded up with mods but the new one is straight vanilla. The game will start up just fine but when I try to start a new game it opens with the usual start scene but instead of the first person view of the back of the wagon and the croup of prisoners I get first for the cart driver. I can look around but not move. The only characters are a few guards and the horses. They're all petrified but you hear the audio playing. The conversation between people who aren't there and the noises from the wagons moving (but they aren't moving)

It's bizarre.
