Re: Black Screen with Games

If you go to this link, you will see the x1600 is a low end card: Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart - Review Tom's Hardware : Best Graphics Cards For The Money: Jan. '09

You'll still be able to play most games but on a low graphics settings. To get the most out of your graphics card download and install the CCC package from ATI:

Graphics Drivers & Software

Once that is installed download and install these two updates:

DirectX (You need this whether you running DirectX 9, 10 or 10.1)
C ++ for Vista 64 bit

Once the last one is installed, reboot your pc.
