Title: SOLVED: Black screen on startup
Post by: burkey0307 on 2011-08-06 08:11:26

Ok so I reinstalled FF7 using my ISO's, I did a maximum install and restarted my computer. I then applied patch 1.02.

Now in order to install Aali's custom graphics driver I need to play the game for a bit to create 10 saves. Well when I start the game it's just a black screen, no music nothing.

I left it like that for 30 minutes didn't change. Only way to go back to the desktop was through the task manager.

I downloaded and installed the TrueMotion Codec and K-Lite. Still the same problem. Tried running the ff7.exe in different compatability modes and running as administrator, didn't help.

I'm out of ideas. I tried to reinstall it and I get the same problem.

Didn't he fix that a few versions ago?

Yes he did... people need to start looking at latest versions before posting.

Sorry I have Windows 7 and it's the NTSC version.

I didn't realize there was a newer version of Aali's driver, I'll try it out and see if it fixes my problem.

Thanks.

edit: The new version fixed my issue. Thanks.
