Black Screen on Start Up! [FIXED]

Hi,

For the first time in all the years I've had GP4 I've been hit by the problem that whenever I try to start GP4, the screen just goes black and then goes back to the desktop.

GP4 ran fine on the PC, and then I did a re-format of the HDD and windows wipe. I have not connected to the internet yet (I'm writing on my laptop), I haven't installed anything other than drivers (no anti-virus or anything) and haven't installed a printer.

It happens on a completely clean install of GP4 and with the patch and no-cd patch and GpxPatch.

I've tried running in Windows 98 mode, and also tried disabling hyper-threading. I've also tried setting the CPU to '0' in GpxPatch.

I haven't got the latest drivers, but I have the exact same drivers that I had on there before, so it's not that.

So I don't hold out much hope - have done a search and found no answers in the countless threads on this. But I'll post my gpxpatch log just in case someone can help.

My specs are: XP Home SP1, P4 2.66Ghz, GF4 Ti 4800SE, 512Mb DDR ram.

And the log:

did you already tried it with the enabled setting for skip into and skip startup menu?

try deleting the file 'f1gstate.sav' in your main GP4 directory (make a backup just in case)

None of those worked. But I solved it.

I had Dx 8.1 on my system, and when I tried to install the version from the Gp4 CD, it finished instantly, so I assumed that I had the exact same version. Seemingly something was wrong with the Dx though, becuase I updated to 9.0c from another game disk, and hey presto, it solved it.

Hope this helps somebody else with this horrible problem!

great you solved it

I've got an other problem: When I use my flat Tv screen as monitor and start GP4 via CSM I get a black screen too. I can't see the main menue. My specs are Pentium 4 3.00 GHz and 1,5 GB DDR RAM.
And with GP3 the same problem. Only Flight Simulator works fine. What can I do?

Could be that you're trying to run the game in a resolution that your TV doesn't support. Remember that, if it's widescreen, it might have a relatively low vertical resolution eg 768 or something (that's what mine has).

Yes, my Tv has the same. Should I change to 800 x 600 in f1gstav.dat or what can I do?
