I just upgraded to windows XP and now whenever I try to play a game it loads
into a black screen. I can hear the music in the back ground but just can't
see anything. I do have the lasted video drivers.
 
Have you installed the "latest" graphics drivers since you upgraded? What
type of upgrade did you do? Are you talking about going to XP SP2 or
upgrading over another operating system with Windows XP? I would suggest
you download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's web site (not
Windows Update) and then install in Safe Mode (F8 on boot) so nothing but a
generic driver is functioning.

I reinstalled Windows XP. Got rid of everything. Upgraded to XP SP2. That
gave me DirectX 9.0c, I didn't have that before. I then installed the
drivers for my Geforce FX 5700 LE card.
