• Fable III has a black screen when the game restarts in the locker room.

  I loaded Fable III, but the locker room screen was black. I went to Nvidia and downloaded the latest driver for the Ge Force 7800 GTX. I have Windows 7 with an Intel dual core & 4 GB Ram. I rebooted Fable III but I still have a black screen when the game restarts in the locker room. The internet shows that my CPU will launch the game. How can I solve this problem of black screen?
  Thank you

  Original title: Fable III problem

  Hello

  Fable III is a graphically demanding game designed for next generation equipment. Your computer must have both a powerful CPU (processor) and a graphic chipset (video card). The video card must also be using the latest video card drivers for the highest level of performance and compatibility between your hardware and Fable III.

  The issue is limited to Fable III for PC? Are you facing other than display issues when reading Fable III for PC?

• Sims 2 questions on Windows 7 (64 bit) - black screen when starting the game

  Questions of title: Sims 2 original on Windows 7 (64-bit)

  The compatibility for Windows 7 thing, says that the Sims 2 and all the expansions will run in Windows 7.

  When I installed in fact all games Sims 2 on my laptop, however, the game does not start.

  I click on the game, opened upward, and I just get a black screen, causing me to have to restart the entire system.

  I tried to run in compatibility mode, which was a no-go. EA customer support asked me to update my drivers, I did. Because none of this worked, I guess that's another problem in Windows 7, so it would be great if I could get a solution to this problem!

  I'm sorry that I post back. I was given an offer too good to refuse services HP customer. They accepted the Ultrabook returned as a RTB at their expense, and when I came back, it was in full working order, although costs in Factory mode. Fortunately, all the important things I have are on the cloud then I lose nothing of note.

  I would like to thank HP for do this, even though it was out of warranty, and the Ultrabook does not glitched at all since I got back.

• Get the black screen when starting Vista

  Well, I bought a Vista in 2008 and he had worked pretty well and then as a few days ago, I'm starting to turn it on and all I get is a black screen! I really need to get it fixed because I need for school and really don't want to have to go buy a new:(toute suggestion serait vraiment apprécié!) 1

  * original title - I'm NEED HELP! *

  You get a Splash Screen (Dell, HP, etc. Logo) when you turn it on?

  Or is it totally Virgin market?

  If completely empty, it may a hardware failure.

  If under warranty, contact the manufacturer.

  If this is not the case, contact a local and trusted computer repairman.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If you get a splash screen, Windows tries to load, but do not succeed, try the following steps:

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Black screen when starting up for about 5-15 minutes

  The first two times it happened, I would like to re start the computer and I would get the Bios screen, but when she reaches the windows screen it would go black. for about 3 minutes. Then everything would be fine.

  Now, I get the black screen as soon as I turn on the computer it stays black for about ten to fifteen minutes. It arises suddenly, all on its own.

  Ive tried... Hardware and software updates, including windows. Ive tried cache ram, flushing, Ive tried unplugging, stall everything and reconnect. Ive tried to use another monitor. Uninstall all antivirus software. Ive tried to adjust the boot parameters.  Ive tried to adjust the resolution of the screen.

  I don't know what to do?

  Hey everybody,

  Update!

  Eventually the monitor never returned.  So it was out of service until I fixed it.

  Several hours in my resolution of problems, I discovered the problem.   The "monitor Extra I was using was nonfuctional out of the box" once I realized that I concentrated on the screen itself.  With a little research in my monitor (formerly broken), I discovered that there are problems with capacitor.

  Of course once I opened the monitor, two of the capacitors had jumps/bulging upward.  So they had blown... It was a slow burn.  So, as I used it, the capacitor lost ability to work...  So I replaced two capacitors with a bit of sodering. Turn the monitor together and TADA!  Monitor is fully functional.

  In case you're wondering the monitor that I use is a Samsung (apparently a lot of capacitor problems in its monitors) model 906BW.

  Also, I guess I should of mentioned that this is not a laptop. Its a desktop computer.

  Confirmed FIX: Replacing two capacitors bulged/jumps inside the monitor.

• 0.9.4 Simulator stand in black screen when starting forever

  0.9.3 Simulator has worked on my computer

  Today, I downloaded 0.9.4 and followed the quick start guide

  http://docs.BlackBerry.com/en/developers/deliverables/25068/

  to the point where starts the Simulator and I clicked on the button "I finished installing. But the Simulator shows a black screen with the words "BlackBerry PlayBook" in the middle and has been there forever.

  No icon gear at the top right and, therefore, I can't continue...

  What did I miss?

  You aren't the only one with this.  Search for 0.9.4 recent discussions to learn more.

  In short, make sure that you used the correct parameters VMware exactly (1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of disk, accel 3d, dual core) and make sure that your host is not limited in memory.  Also give it a 5 minutes before giving up.  If it doesn't, try reset several times.

  Also, it's always a good idea to include your configuration information.  Platform, OS, number of bits (32/64), etc.

• Black screen when launching games... ANY GAME!

  Whenever I try to run a game starts, the screen flashes a few shades of black and then stays that way. I have to ctrl + alt + del to pull up the Task Manager and it shows that the program is not responding. 'End task' won't stop him. I have to "Complete the process" directly in the menu of the process to get the hang of the program. This happens in every game I've tried to play.

  World in Conflict
  World in Conflict: Soviet Assault
  Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
  Battlefield 2
  FlatOut 2
  FlatOut Ultimate Carnage
  .. .and many others

  The games run directly after installation and then crash the next time I try to play.
  I then put in the game to run as administrator, the game works then, but does not work after this date.
  I put the game to run in as asministrator, and compatibility mode works the first time and never again.

  Whenever I do a fix that works and then crashes every other time. Almost like learning to work around my corrections. Yes, I do the same thing the next time I run it, so nothing changes that could bring it to the accident, but he does.

  Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7100

  Alex,
  According to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center , none of the games you listed appear as "Compatible" they all show as "pending information."  However, some of them were made for Vista, so it is very likely that they will run on Windows 7.  You should check with the manufacturers of games and see if there is any patches\updates for the games.
  I suggest that you work on one game first.  First of all, make sure that your drivers are in fact Windows 7 drivers.  You can have the most recent driver, but it is not for Windows 7.  Also, make sure that you have updated all your hardware drivers not only the video (sound card, chipset, etc...).  Uninstall one of the games, and then reinstall it.  When you install it actually browse the CD for the configuration file and right click and run in compatibility mode for Vista.  See if that helps.

• Black screen when starting my Satellite C

  When I turn on my laptop it shows the usual Toshiba screen with the option of choosing F2 or F12, (none of them helped) the next screen is all black with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. Nothing else happens after that. I let (hoping it'll work) but just becomes market and repeats the process.

  Any help will be really appreciated helpline Toshiba are now very usefully closed until Monday when I'm at work!

  Thank you

  I got a cursor blinking in the upper left also, and in my case, the HARD drive was dead.
  After replacing HARD drive, I was able to install the new OS and can start the operating system properly.

  Must check if the HARD drive is ok.

  Hello. I use a laptop Touch B50-30 Energy Star. It came with Windows 8.1. Recently, it is automatically promoted to the 10 Windows (which I really like).
