    Hey!

    After one week's use of Windows7 (64-bit) I decided to install some games to test, in this case, Red Faction Guerilla and Darkest of Days. But when I boot up the game, I'm only get a Black Screen, I've tried to reinstall the games, drivers, change compatibility mod, etc., but nothing works. Does anyone know how to solve this?

    Some specs on my computer

    Zepto Nexus
    Intel P8400
    4GB RAM
    Geforce 9600M GT 512MB DDR3
    Windows 7 64-bit

    I've used drivers from Laptopvideo2go and Nvidia's website. These are the drivers I tried:
    V. 190.40
    V 186.81 (from Nvidia's website)
    V. 186.82

    Regards Martensson

    Reinstall Win7 on your laptop, and erase everything on your HD.

    I know that there are a bug in NVIDIA/Windows 7 that resizes the picture wrong. Maybe it can be that, but I doubt it.

    Go to NVIDIA control panel.

    Press EDIT RESIZE SETTINGS (I don't know what it's called on english).

    And then press "Use Nvidia's resize settings".

    I hope it helped!
