Vista - Black Screen with Games

Thanks for that, I have just tried playing the demo to Arma 2 but the only way it can work is running it in windowed mode (adding -window to the startup bar in properties)
It works but you have to stay in that mode and the graphics don´t seam to be as good, does the same for BF2 but the graphics go very funky.

worth the idea. crysis has been the only game i have had issues with, and i fixed that with the official patch for the game.

Stew2: I tried that, but some of the launchers do not seem to have graphic settings. All games are fully updated also. I honestly think it could be the computer. It's new, but i'm not too sure, because i don't know a lot about computers, but i still don't think it could be the graphics card, if the GFX Card worked previously with these games on a different system.

OK you should do this:

1. Download, install and then run - - PerfectDisk - - to defrag all hard drives and partitions
2. Once its completed the defrag, reboot your pc
3. Check your hard drive for errors by clicking on the vista start orb and then clicking on Computer. You then right click on your hard drive and click Properties. Next go to the Tools tab and under Error Checking click on Check Now and tick both the boxes. Then click Start and reboot your pc
4. Check you RAM for errors by clicking the vista start orb and typing in the search bar MdSched then hit enter then click on restart now.

I think it may be a problem with your RAM so it would be a good idea to do the above steps just to make sure there are no hard drive or RAM errors.
