a black screen appears but nothing else

Post by toothbrush »

Hi everyone,

the first time I used scummVM 0.9.0 on WinXP everything seems to work fine.
Then I checked the boxes of fullscreen-mode and aspect-ratio. When I started it again, a black screen appeared. After flickering for a short time, nothing else happend. I then have uninstalled it and tried a new download but the result is the same. Just a black screen. With the ESC-key I can shut scumm.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanx for helping me.

Find scummvm.ini and delete it, restart Scumm and don't do that again... :-)

Why your screen doesn't support fullscreen and aspect-ratio is beyond me

Hi Raziel,
I ditto don't know, why fullscreen doesn't work but at least your hint was successful.
Thanx for your speedy help.
