After the beginning video everything is black!

Looks like a video driver issue. Maybe you updated the driver since it last worked correctly?? You might try rolling the driver back to an older one. or even, getting the lastest and greatest driver available. Also could be your resolution settings. You might want to try a lower setting. Welcome to the forum!! Good luck.

Im going to try your tips. Thanks for your kindness, but if I dont get the game to work, my stay is going to be a very short one :> Probably...

Edit: I think its not GC problem. When I ctrl+alt+del and alt+tab when the screen freezes, the manager says that the program doesnt response...

Don't give up too quickly. Try and think if you made any changes to your computers configuration since the last time it worked. Something changed, you just have to figure out what. Good luck!

I do tens of changes on my computer every day, and its probably 2 months when the game last worked... Which is shame...

No I run on xp.

ok, I doubt it would hurt so I'd suggest giving that a shot. Try setting all your graphic card options to default and see if the game runs.

Didnt work. It still says that program doesnt answer...

Do you have a codec pack installed like K-lite codec pack? Sometimes codec packs can cause troubles.

Do you have vista?

I have this happen to me when I reinstall SH4 on my vista64 computer. I fix it by going into my graphic card's options and disabling all advanced options like anti aliasing, forced mip maps, multisampling, threaded optimization, triple buffering, etc. I then run the game and it starts up fine. I make sure I set the resolution I want in game and then exit, reset the graphics card options, and then run SH4 and everything is fine.
