Got a black screen when using a crack - LOOK HERE!

[Machina]

OK, I see that many people are flaming cracks for black screens while the crack is not the issue.

It happens that Windows XP and Windows 2000 have a refresh rate issues.

Many of you use refresh rate fixing software that overrides refresh rate values to max that monitor supports.

Thing is - there are several Direct3D games that totally depend on DirectX's refresh rate settings, but your software that overrides DirectX's settings - messes up those games when they launch.

Want to fix your black screen without having to use sucky 60Hz?

READ HERE:

1. Launch your refresh rate fixing sofware

2. UNDO refresh rate fix/forcing- set everyting to default.

3. UNINSTALL THE SUCKER!

4. Restart

5. Go to START>RUN and type in DXDIAG, then press ENTER

6. Choose MORE HELP tab (last one from the left)

7. Press OVERRIDE button, and for OVERRIDE VALUE - put down 100 no matter what your fresh rate is. 100 is the maximum value. If your monitor supports only 75Hz at certain resolutions - it will use 75Hz, and not 100Hz, so do not worry.

You can still change your desktop refresh rate by going to into ADVANCED DISPLAY properties, it will not affect your fresh rate in games.

Now launch the game that was giving you a black screen!

I know that these games do that:

Halo
Battlefield 1942
Enter the Matrix
Temple of Elemental Evil

I hope this helped!
