Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 First of all, Dr. No, make sure you have your computer plugged in. Step 2: Make sure you have your monitor plugged in. Step 3: Make sure your monitor is turned on. Step 4: If your computer is turned on, and your monitor is turned on, and you're getting a blank screen....I'm sorry, we can't help you at this time. No really, are ou running it as "administrator?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 HI Bud I am running it in vista When you first launch the game it identifies the graphics card and updates a file called renderer_settings.xml in \Ubisoft\Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter\Data\settings If the game doesnt initialize these settings it cannot launch the game properly What does your file have in it (you can open it with wordpad or notepad Here are my settings from that file adapter = "NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra" driver = "nvd3dum.dll" resolution = "1680 1050" windowed = "false" refresh_rate = "60" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hi, I am sorryv to hear about this problem and I do understand your frustration. However I suggest u to search the culprit of your issue outside the game. I am actively playing GRAW 2 with an online group and I never heard about this issue. 70% of my teammates are running Vista and Nvidia cards of any kind, from your model above. No one reported similar isssue I am running on Win 7 myself, never had an issue. Definetely u have to be sure u r running as Admin. Also it may make a difference if u are using an Admin accont better than a "lower rights" account, but other than that tis game never gave that issue under Vista.

MedicSN6 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Uninstall and reinstall. I know its a drag, but you might have gotten some coruption of some type. It is worth it to find out. Also, make sure you dont have anything superfluous running when you do. Also, make sure you turn the sidebar thing off when you run any games. It can be a resource hog. Maybe I will help you fi your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Oh, I am sorry, I was thinking he was talking about GRAW 2 ... I have no exp on Win 7 about GRAW 1. I have it, but I used XP at that time. However, also for GRAW 1, indirect experience, my mates on GRAW 2 were using GRAW 1 on Vista so I tend to assume it would run fine.
