| 378822 | 2005-08-06 05:38:00 | Hey Sometimes when i open a game the screen goes black and the game loads up normally but all i see is black! I can hear the sound and everything and the comp is still running fine but i cant see the game im in, If i ctr+alt+del it then it flicks up for a sec then back to normal destop task managaer! It's really strange because sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't and i have to restart if it's happenning for any games to work again I have a Radeon X300 SE Graphics card its soooo annoyying ahhhh cheers |

| 378823 | 2005-08-06 06:06:00 | I take it you have installed the latest drivers for your card, and are not trying to run the game in a resolution which is not supported? It is just one particular game, or any game that does this? | Jen (38) | ||
| 378824 | 2005-08-06 06:13:00 | Hi, its likely to be the video driver but I am yet to install a game that didnt have a patch released for it. After installing the game you should always download the patches for the game from the publishers. Next, see if there is a FAQ/forum on their site. There may be work-arounds for common issues and this may be one of them. If still a no-goer then download latest video driver for your card. |

| 378825 | 2005-08-06 07:00:00 | Hey guys It has nothing to do with versions of the game or drivers. It happens with alot of games and i have instaled the latest drivers. I'm pretty sure it only happens with games that have 3D graphics though. cheers |

| 378826 | 2005-08-06 09:09:00 | Hey guys It has nothing to do with versions of the game or drivers . It happens with alot of games and i have instaled the latest drivers . I'm pretty sure it only happens with games that have 3D graphics though . cheers In that case download and install the latest version of DirectX |

| 378827 | 2005-08-06 09:50:00 | In that case download and install the latest version of DirectX Yeah, and also run dxdiag to see if any directx issues come up. Remember that a lot of games come with older versions of directx that won't be compatible with later games. So check that you've got version 9.c. |

| 378828 | 2005-08-06 10:00:00 | Hey thanks again I have the latest version of dirext X (9 . 0c) so i dont think thats the problem I'v run DXDIAG and done all the diagnostic tests but they all came out fine lol . This problem only happens sometimes and other times the games work fine so it must be something else thats running thats causing it sometimes . But what??? cheers |
