Very Stange Problem (FIXED: VISTA Related)

11-18-07, 04:27 AM

Yep, I installed the DirectX 9 and all the "latest" drivers for everything. I suspect the newest driver from Nvidia is the culprit. I'm going to try to find the version I had installed previously and try that.

Thanks all!

No luck on the Nvidia drivers. I went back to the version I was using when SH4 ran with the same results, black screen. In another thread I saw a hotfix for Nvidia cards so I'm going to try that.

Success! The culprit has been eliminated!

I had the Vista Free Codecs Pack installed. After removing the codec pack, I get a main menu just like everyone else! Hooorrraaaayyyyy!

Thanks for all your suggestions again.
