I'm not going to invest in anything until I finish my HSC and get into Uni.

Already did.

I run it in compatibility mode for XP SP3, got no problem. Maybe it's the same thing for you ?

Tried that.

KOI!! fk man... thank you soooo much for that file... i was having problems with my cb graphics but your file fixed it!!! fk man... i tried everything but your thing actually fixed it!!! so happy! thank you!

ps... i was having some graphic problems after running cb on win7

i kinda got the same prob well im a laptop using windows 7 with integrated card
and i kinda did everything or every solution i can find it still the same prob OPENGL .... bla bla bla ... wat should i do T^T

Hmmm, interesting.

I can run CB, using Win XP SP 2 compat mode and Administrator. Win automatically disables graphics themes or something (no transparency in windows and reverts back to basic visuals) when the game starts. However I get crashes from time to time (whole computer freezes / screen fizzes out like a lost video transmission / audio freezes), especially when changing area / switching from area to arena and vice-versa.

Specs on laptop are:
Win 7 64-bit Professional SP1
Core i5 M540 2.53 GHz
6 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce GT 330 M, 256 MB, driver version 188.80
DX 11 display driver version 8.16.11.8880
Realtek HD Audio
DX 11 sound driver 6.00.0001.6028

Maybe we could form a trend / database of crashes or something.

So it just won't run?
What's your laptop, a refurb like mine? Jesus let me tell you all the drivers- all of them- are as unstable as a skyscraper made of gum and straws. Running certian programs at once would make the dispaly driver crash, about 2% of the time recovering and closing CB (which didn't seem to cause the crashing itself, it seemed to scapegoat for a recovery) the mousepad driver didn't work and some other ones also hate me.

If I were you I'd try re-installing Windows 7 itself. If it wasn't via disk, it could also cause a little problems... My laptop is a refurb inspiron with a 3.4 rating out of ten (windows told me on some control panel thing) so it's not exactly meant for gaming but CB is a-ok. You clould also reinstall CB (and for the LOVEOFGOD use firefox or something else that's not IE and supports resumable downloads). As a rule of thumb, if it dosen't work, always start at square one and reboot everything, if not from a last known good setting

If you're referring to mine, it's not a refurb. It's a brand new (when I bought it) Sony Vaio VPCZ-127. I can't reinstall everything without having to go through the trouble, and it's not worth it to do it for a game like this anyway. I use it for a lot of things.
Just throwing the specs out here so the option is open to people interested in compiling a trend or something.

If you're referring to LXE and idunn0, well, over to you guys then...

Let me clarify on that last bit, the last known good:

System Restore if the date isn't horrible.

And yeah, it's a bit dramatic, but I'd give it a 90% chance of at leat fixing that one error. Problem is, it would be hard to get all your stuff on flash drives if you have a lot of it.

All of Tsu's tech wizardry is done at the discretion of the victim student and are done as their will. Tsu will not accept responsibility for making things worse, making a computer spontaneously combust, or not finding a cheaper solution.

OK, I bought a new laptop.
This time it's got a Core i5 and a Radeon HD graphics card.

It's not working, still got this black screen of death.

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

wut?

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.

mine is intel IGP too and work just fine now

I'm sure you didn't do "stuffs" like modding your driver (kinda bs) ;3

meh, i just disable my page files and it works fine
it's my pagefiles screw everything

Black Screen still.
Tried everything.

Spoiler:

They really should release a windows 7 compatible installer. Trying to run CB in XP when it's slowly being phased out by Microsoft would make problems later.

I'm really not an expert on this, but I do know that this black screen inside the window is exactly what happens if I accidentally use a different programm that is also using Java.
