Most Torque Apps Start With BLACK Screen.

Alright,
So most any demo or app I start(torque based)(besides the TGEA DEMO) Just starts with a black screen, Nothing else wont go anywhere, sometimes I can hear the mouse scroll over the buttons but thats it.
Even my 1.4.2 doesn't work. Worked before on the same comp.
My system specs are as is -

Epox VIA P4M800 Motherboard
P4 3.0 OC to 3.4
ATI Radeon 9550 (9/10/2007 Drivers) 256mb
1gig DDR pc3200 RAM
All Drivers updated.
Directx10(software) Directx9(hardware)


Please help.

Did you find an answer to your problem? I am experiencing the same issue after rebuilding TGEA 1.7.1. Every application starts with a black screen. I can see the world once I start the world editor, but then when I close the editor, it goes back to black. It's almost as if the lighting or camera isn't working in the game except when I open the editor.

My guess is that I didn't pick something up that I needed when I rebuilt TGEA. I am now using Visual Studio Express, and that seems to be the only difference, because before, I had set up Visual Studio Pro (student edition) and it worked fine.

I'll keep trying things, and if I find a solution I will let you know if you haven't already found one in the last 6 months.

I've compiled TGEA 1.8.1 (stock) on my mac pro w/ 7300 video card; the game window is completely black, although you can hear sound, etc. If anyone has a solution to this, I would be very grateful.

Thanks
John
