    Video problems with all games


    Hello,

    I've just installed W7's 64 bit RC here on my laptop, and since then I can't run any game in widescreen mode. Even if I change this manually on the game's options (did it with Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead), it ignores the changes and forces 4:3 again.

    My computer's processor isATI Turion 64 X2 Mobile, and I'm using an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400.

    If your sure that the updates are the problem you could try to manually uninstall latest updates. Maybe you'll find out wich update causes the problem. Did W7 update the drivers for your graphics card?

    I guess it's optional update called NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT (Prerelease - WDDM 1.1), but i don't know how to uninstall that, it's not on installed updates list.

It doesn't happen often but sometimes it freezes for a second while loading a certain game which works fine on another day and gives BSOD. Sometimes it happens after I've loaded the game and am in the moment of playing. My hardware is more than enough for the games I run and I even run them on...
Hello to all, As the title suggest, I have a few games now that start up with the regular sound but show me nothing on the screen but deep, annoying, blackness. So far, I have found this to happen with Darksiders and GuildWars2. I have already done the following to no avail: 1) remove a...

Hi all, I really like the new operating system alot, but I've never had a problem with my games like this before. All my video games either steam related or other.
