all i get is a black screen and i can hear my mouse cursor selecting options because i assume i am at the title screen... is it a bug?
I recently bought a new monitor (17" pro lite TFT) and when bought i was told it supported all the resolutions i asked about and the HZ to). However when i came to play Vampire the masquerade i had the exact problem you had. Black screen but knew it was meant to be the game menu screen. The problem was my Graphics card was chucking out a resulution with a hz my monitor diddnt support. Are you using a TFT ? It isnt always a GPU problem. The easy way you could check it out would be to use a normal CRT monitor with the game that supports the 3 main resulutions and see if you can see the menu. I had to go and buy yet another new monitor (and scream at the guy who told me my old monitor supported resulutions @ hz it diddnt . If you are using a TFT let me know as there are a couple of things you can try. Providing your system is up to spec to run the game of course. (i had 3 games where the problem you described happend and knew it wasnt my pc as it was well above the recomended spec. Therefor it wasnt hard to work out it was my TFT.
