Re: Black Screen Problem!

all i can think of is your vid card driver ot bing updated, other than that...dunno.

ps. u should probably upgrade your vid card in its entirety. at least get the 9600:P

Would you recomend a good Graphic Card that won't be out dated in a year?

Looking at the dxdiag you posted, I would say a 6600 GT, preferbly the 256 MB version but the 128 MB will do too, or the faster ASUS version of 6800 GT with 128 MB, not quite the same as the 6800 GT 256 MB version but performance versus price a good card.

No sense in you getting a high-end card, the rest of your PC will just be a bottleneck. All the components of a PC has to be at similar playing field for it to work best.

Re: Black Screen Problem!

check to make sure you dont have any forceware pushing the graphics. It will default on first load till you change the settings. If its forcing a resolution that is not defaulted the game will stop at that point. GL

Re: Black Screen Problem!

Although the driver cleaning made my computer respond to commands MUCH faster it unfortunatly didn't solve the problem. Any more ideas in there?

Thanks for the speed:)

Have installed chipset drivers for you mother board, as mentioned in the post I replied to above?? You might have missed it I made two replies consecutively.

It is a good indication that AGP driver isn't installed and that is part of chipset drivers, so try installing those. You might need to reinstall, video drivers again after installing chipset drivers, as the video drivers rely on the underlying chipset drivers for graphics acceleration.

Okay, if you have trouble finding the correct drivers, just tell us what motherboard you have and it should be easy to find them.

I have no idea what is wrong with his, but the actual game (not the menu like his) only started working when i installed the latest driver. Thanks to that driver i can now play what i can say is the best demo ever! I don't dare buy the full version until i upgrade my specs (hopefully this christmas).

Hi :)

Maybe the part I remember about 9200, was ppl trying to use the PCI version of the card you use.
Stuart's problem seems to be driver related too, most likely the chipset drivers, seeing there's AGP acceleration enabled.

In your dxdiag it is enabled and in Stuart's it is not. (the part I quoted from your dxdiag)

Re: Black Screen Problem!

Ok the Chipset Driver update had no luck unfortunatly. and AGP texture is still unavailible. my head hurts now so im going to bed to make it better

Ill be back tomorrow to have another try

Bye for tonight!

Do you have any idea if that site ships to the UK, also if I were to buy a card I would probably try get the best I can afford.

I have an Idea to fix my problem. If I can find something to uninstall DirectX with and reinstall it after, maybe the missing system.dll file will be recovered. All other cases of this file missing that I've seen seems to involve a game not working properly.
