Dark Fall Lost souls & Windows 7 - 06/21/11 03:16 AM
I bought this when it first came out - since then I've moved, I have a new computer, a new 26-inch monitor, and I installed Windows 7. So today I unwrapped my game, installed it, and tried to play it using my native resolution of 1920x1280.
The problem is - no display. I even turned down my resolution to 1024x768. I have sound. The cell phone pops up. The inventory pops up. I can grab an inventory item and move it around the (dark) screen. And that is it. I can't even close the game unless I use my Task Manager. I then tried it on an older Vista laptop and got the same results.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for your help.

Near the bottom of
***this page*** there are three posts that may help:
Hello,
I'm getting a strange black screen. I can see the cursor, cellphone, and I think some picked up items at the start of the game.(vodka,pills) But I don't see the main room picture just that black screen. If anyone can help that would be great.
use your cellphone,there is a light function XD
On the left you have the phone .
On the phone you have a symbol of a flashlight just press on it with the mouse .

Thank you so much!
Draclvr, thanks, that was the first thing I checked. Fortunately, my desktop computer is 3 months old, and passed all requirements. :-)
Jenny100, you ALWAYS come through! Thanks! I had done a search, but hadn't found anything - my search skills aren't the greatest. :-(

So did it work? Hope so.
I think games should be very careful about starting with a puzzle that could be interpreted as a glitch.
