black screen on startup

karac77 · 09-29-07, 01:25 PM

HI,
I was wondering if anyone had the same problem. I couldn't find an answer to it on subsim. A have GF 7600 GS and 93.71 drivers for it. I had to reinstall my OS and after that I can't even start playing SHIII. After the main loading screen a get a black one with a cursor only and music. What's odd is that before reinstalling the OS everything worked just fine. I had the same GFX, the same drivers, the same DX and it was ok. I have no idea why this happend. I reinstalled the GX drivers, the game and the DX and nothing...

Anybody have an idea...?

Probably you haven't properly reinstalled your video codecs and cannot watch the beginning movies. Try either to install a codec package - such as Ace Megacodec Pack, or K-Lite (however avoid Nimo, it can mess up your system) - or just delete the intro movies, in the Movies\Intro folder of your game.

Yup,

had the same after I installed a codec package. When I removed them, SH3 ran fine again.

Can`t help you which codecs are needed though.

Thank's gyus

It is all about the codecs. But actually when I unistalled K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, the game ran fine

With them it was still a mess. Now I have to figure out which codecs I can use to watch movies and play the game. Thanks again!

Goto:

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