Trouble with main menu
 
Hi,

I run windows vista ultimate 32 bit with bootcamp on a macbook pro 2.6 GHZ and a Nvidea 8800 GT.SHIII + GWX 2.1 and SH3 com everything worked fine then I left my pc alone for 2 days so nothing has changed. When i just started up SHIII the main screen went black I can see my mouse arrow which ghosts on the screen when i move it. I did a clean install and still got the same problem.Could it have been an update? Anyone out there that can help me?

Isn't Macbook a natural enemy of Windows? I have seen the commercials. They say "PC" but I know the nerdy fat guy is really a stand in for Windows!

Seriously, sounds like a graphics driver issue. Double check you have the manf. best driver. Sometimes going back one driver helps. They fix stuff the latest hot game and break the "classics".

Nah with bootcamp a Mac is windows his best friend ;)

But I think the problem lies in the fact that he need to adjust the resolution from 1900x1240 to whatever het highist resolution is on a SHIII with Gwx 2.1. Any idea's? I tried everything up till now.

Here's the solution:

1) Start
2) All Programs
3) K-Lite Codec Pack
4) Configuration
5) Codec Tweak Tool
6) Disable the ffdshow filter

FFDSHOW codec causes that like Danlisa said above. I've had it happen 2-3 times in the past and it's always gone away by disabling the FFDSHOW. :up:
