Need help, game turned black

[Scud]

Hi Mark,

That doesn't sound like a game problem, but a computer problem. Since you don't turn off the PC it might have been caused by your computer going into hibernation. Also, Vista is a memory hog, so depending on how much RAM your computer has and how high-end your video card is, you might have just used up your RAM. Alt-Tab into another program and then alt-tabbing back might have worked, but saving and restarting the game is sometimes all you can do. A computer restart would be even better. There's probably a ton of processes running in the background eating up memory.

One thing you can try that might help is to update your video card driver to the latest. If you got your computer when Vista first came out, the early driver might have a bug in it that was later fixed. If you want to try that and need help doing this let me know.
