Black screen after full screen game
I am absolutely stumped. Starting around 1300 GMT-5 050822, my computer has been displaying a black screen after exiting or minimizing a full screen game. The only thing still visible is the mouse cursor. The desktop still responds, and I am able to restore a minimized game, which solves the problem until I minimize it again or close it. I can also restart, which solves it until I open another game.This has occurred before, around one month ago. It eventually went away after a week or so. I posted back then, but no one responded. Hopefully someone can help me this time, because it is a very annoying problem. |
Start by downloading the latest drivers from ATI and also downloading Direct x 9.0c from microsoft.

As I said, I have already ensured that everything is updated(with the exception being Windows XP SP2). I updated to Catalyst 5.8 last Wednesday and updated DirectX to 9.0c at my last reformat, which was around 3 months ago.
Edit at 050824 2203 GMT-5: The problem has apparently decided to spontaneously fix itself. If it follows it's usual pattern, it should resurface in about a month. Until then, thanks for the reply. |
