Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Dual Core Processor
Any suggestions/solutions will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
I recently bought this new PC, which has vista on it. The specs are as follows:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Dual Core Processor
4GB Corsair DDR II Memory
ATI Radeon x1600 Series
Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.
I have tried installing many different games on my pc, which are quite new and have been released in the last few years. The installation goes fine, and everything is great. When it comes to launching the game, well, i double click the file to run the game, and i get a black screen. Nothing happens afterwards. It just stays black. 'Ctrl + Alt + Delete' does not work, and neither does 'Alt + Tab', or any other keyboard shortcuts. This results in me having to hold in the power button and turn my pc off like that.
Any idea's on what could be wrong? It is extremely frustrating, due to the fact that i've tried running about 3 - 5 games on my computer, and neither of them work, without a black screen coming up after trying to launch any of them. I've tried numerous things like 'Running as Administrator' and changing compatibillity modes and so on and so forth, but none of that works.
