Getting Sound But No Image - Black Screen

Thanks, guys. I'm a bit stuck on this one. I uninstalled and re-installed the GPU drivers tonight. No change.

Amistead,
I moved the entry videos to a place where the game can't find them. No change.

I have DirectX 11, which should be ok. Maybe I should downgrade to 9, but then another game wouldn't work. Not sure. I could try it.

Bilge_rat,
The card works for other games ok. Your other suggestion about which graphics processor is priority made some sense. But I'm forcing the game to use the NVidia GPU.

merc4ulfate,
As much as I could, I went through and duplicated the settings you described in both the global settings and program settings tab (where SH4 has a profile). You had some settings I don't have available, and I have a few that you don't have. Probably 80% match up. I'd take your advice on the others. I need to provide the details, but I can't now. I'll have to do this on Sunday night. I'm about to go on a trip.

Nothing I've done so far has helped. I've actually not seen any effects at all. Always just black.

This is frustrating. I got this machine partly because I wanted to play SH4 on it. I'd hate to find out it won't work.
