Windows 7 - Running CosmicBreak

Guest

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate and now I'm having a hard time opening CosmicBreak.
The screen changes to 800x600 resolution and it just stays black, and no sound.
So what do I do to fix this?

I have no idea. I've had no problems with CB on Windows 7.

If it's a fresh install, maybe update drivers and java?

- Installed Graphic Drivers
- Installed Java
- Tried compatability modes

Still nothing. Now trying Safe Mode.
Safe Mode, the window shows up. Nothing is displayed inside it but black.

Sugu pointed about UPDATE not installation.

oh and PS: Make it default modes. You'll regret running them in compatibility modes later on (BSOD and stuff).

Provide the PC specs.

Anyways, looks like something is up with either video drivers or directx. Also try DL'ing CB setting files: http://koi-sama.net/cb/cbdefsettings.zip

As I know Windows 7 doesn't like integrated cards.

Just my experience.

Mine was getting things like that switching to Windows 7 with an integrated card.

Uncle gave me free nVidia GeForce GTX 460 and BOOM! No more graphic-related problems for me.

Ok, so you're trying to run CB on a laptop with Windows 7? Can you get the stats on your GPU? I run CB on Windows 7 fine, but my GPU is almost certainly better than yours. Did you try uninstalling/reinstalling? Other than that, double-check for the Windows Firewall pop-up; the way CB works, I don't think it'll automatically come to the front like it should; CB has a tendency to block other windows.

It ran fine on Vista and integrated graphics. I don't see why it won't work on Windows 7.

I had this problem before O3O

My only choice was to revert it back to XP.

Aria, integrated GPUs still have stats, you know...

Subject: Re: Windows 7 - Running CosmicBreak Mon Aug 29, 2011 1:41 pm

965GM should have Intel GMA x3100 or something like that onboard. And this is not an issue.

Meanwhile, do you have latest intel chipset/vga drivers? Not the ones that come from Microsoft Update.

And how are preset settings for windowed mode?

It still would suck w/o any external ones.

Just DL the archive and follow instructions in readme.

1.8 GHz......it's not the problem, but you should invest in a better computer with like 2.2-2.4 or a gaming computer. 1.8 Ghz computers are made for surfing and flash games.

I also use a Windows 7 laptop and it works fine.
