• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Black screen after reinstall

After a complete removal and reinstall, CFS2 starts, I get music and a black screen, I hit esc for the next screen and move the mouse around and I can hear the button sounds, but still a black screen.

I am running XP on a 3 ghz processor with an nvidia 7800GS.

I was not having any issues before the reinstall...just wanted to clean out masses of old junk and stuff and start fresh.
 
After hours of working on it, I fixed it....for those of you who ever have this problem in the future, the answer is to install latest drivers for vid card

It should not have been a problem like this, I was only behind one driver update, and the game is ancient, but....whatever works LOL.

Your first indication will be if the start screen starts up off screen, meaning you will see a much smaller window in the middle of your desktop.
 
I gotta tell ya that the loss of all of our old thread archives is going to hurt. I used to hit them almost weekly.
That said, glad you got it figured out! :ernae:
