Yes its me, Crimsonum/ Yuri 08 or whatever you like to call me. As you are aware, I've been offline for quite sometime now, for different reasons (it started as an attempt to create something for my 5000th post but I never got my ass around it Razz).

Anyway, during that...vacation, if you will, me and my dad built a fresh new computer from the following parts:

Case - Antec Nine Hundred Gaming Case

Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo CPU 3.00 GHz

Display Controller - AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870

Power Supply - Corsair VX550 550w

Motherboard - ASUS P5Q Pro

Cooling System - Some 4+ 120mm fans, one gigantic 200mm mounted on top of the case. Oh and one Cooler Master’s GeminII.

Now, I'm not here to praise my computer, but instead I have a problem. I have Vista as my operating system, and I'm not too used to it.
I have managed to run old games like my TFD without problems, until now. I downloaded the unofficial patch 1.03 for TFD, and I see it has improved plenty of thins.
For some reason, however, I cant run TS nor FS. Well, yes, technically I could play them, but the problem is, everything is black. I can't see, only hear. What's the problem?

Thanks for the help.

P.S. Its good to be back =)

EDIT: Banshee, what have you done to the total posts amount? Everything's gone! :/

I had a similar problem. It was to do with the graphics driver and card, but that's all I can tell you because I never fixed it Sad .

Welcome back, commander #Tongue

While you were gone, there was a decrease in mod work, and large increase in spam and offtopic (I refer to this as "the Fail").

The post count was removed to limit the spam I believe.

see http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21104

Also: Happy 5,000th post! Smile

Edit: Why is this in the TS editing forum? Seems like it belongs in "PPM zone".

That's very unfortunate. Just don't tell me my riddle game has been deleted!

As for the first part: try and download the WaveClass fix here on PPM (yes, we finally found a fix for it Very Happy). If that fails, then it must be something else.

And as for the disappearance of the post count: I think it's partially my fault for creating this topic Wink

Ow, then try deleting it. It went black for me with the fix after a while too. I now must use the railgun work-around to have no WaveClass errors though, and it loads much slower Confused

Dutchy, you solved my problem. Thanks. It was indeed the file. Seems like Vista can't handle it...luckily I dont think I'll have any WCEs on this computer.

Well, Vista can handle the file, but only for a small amount of time. It did work on my Vista pc before failing Confused Anyways, no problems for the help Wink

Very nice, very nice, 4870? I use a 4850. #Tongue Both are very nice.

Vista O/S I take, which flavor of it?

All the parts cost us 'bout 1200 € = 1500 US$, but the whole thing's worth a lot more.

I have Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.

Almost forgot to mention that the price includes a new 22" flat-panel display from Samsung.

Which is about £1000. Sounds about right... might have to start saving. #Tongue

I think HP makes the best LCD monitors. They just look great.

They're more for the image quality and color accuracy and all that. But yes, I do like Samsung a lot; a close second is LG, which makes the liquid crystal panels for Dell and Apple monitors, among some others.
