black screen after loading game - shangoramdoa - 03-12-2012
i am on an hp desktop running Intel® HD Graphics Family as my graphics card. every time i start the game and go past the start menu (start a new game) i can see and hear the dialog just fine but after it stops all i et is a black screen with a white dot in the middle. i've tried updating my drivers through intel but it says they are custom drivers so i also tried updating them through hp and still no luck with the game, a walkthrough or direct link to what i need to fix my problem would be much appreciated as i'm not sure what to do at this point. thanks
