Occasional black screen on start-up of WC3
by Lw-stupidus | 29/04/2011 21:45:20 Hi, Normally this isn't a problem on my good PC but since it's in for repairs I'm on my old one and notice sometimes when I launch WC3 TFT the game will load and I hear the menu sound but I'm confronted with a black screen. I can tab, exit the program, and the display will still be black. I don't seem to have this problem when launching another game from that same era, Morrowind. Any suggestions as to what's wrong? Is there a way to attach my dxdiag? I uploaded it to mediafire if you would like to see it: http://www.media Or I also copy/pasted it here... ---------------- System Information ---------------- Time of this report: 4/29/2011, 15:39:52 Machine name: USER-9282E03E3B Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.1 Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
