Tried that, matched it as well as the refresh rate, no change, still no video. Could the DVD be possibly faulty you think? It did work before though! I am trying to think of a reason why this would not work now. Cheers.

Yes Karhis, and reloaded the patches as well, same result. ---------- Post added at 07:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ---------- It doesn't, as soon as I alt+esc from the game it goes straight back to the desktop. I do run the pc through a 32inch panasonic hdtv which is only 1 yr old. ---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ---------- The trial version x32 off the microsoft site.

Didn't work, copied the steps you gave but alas, still audio with no video and a black screen! Oh....back to square one yet again. thanks for your input though.

Thanks Shuurajou, I will let you know how I go, I am hoping!!!

Enjoyed Arma 2 thoroughly on Win XP, Changed to trail vers Win 7 on rebuild and cannot play game only audio on Blackscreen. I am tempting to go back to Win XP if I cannot find a solution to this problem shortly. Up to date patches no help ver 1.03

Can someone please offer a solution as I am at wits end trying to sort out the problem with my copy of Arma 2. On start of the game it loads onto a black screen with audio only in the background and I can not get a picture. I can hear the start up music though. I did have windows XP on the system before when Arma 2 worked fine. I upgraded the system and now this game does not display at all, only audio. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance if your advice fixes my problem. My PC as follow; Pro: Intel core 2 quad CPU Q9400 RAM: 4 Gb Sys: 32 Bit Nvidia GTS 250 P.S. My other latest game DCS:Blackshark plays fine on this system as does GTA IV and Crysis and Battlestations Pacific?:nuts:?
