    Hello everybody.. I have a problem with something and would like to know if anyone of you can help me! Listen.. my computer had Windows XP Home premium.. I changed to windows 7 since i bought my nVidia EVGA 9400gt..

    Here comes the problem, each time i start my computer with the screen connected to the video card i can't see the main screen until the Accounts of windows are loaded.. After that everything is normal..

    Does anyone why does this happendS?

    and with XP i have this same problem but 1 different thing, after i wait 1-2 minutes like with windows 7 to load account it just does nothing.. Screen Stays black .. :(

    Any suggestion would be appreciated, thanks you all for your time.

    The win7 problem your having, i think you have the boot sequence 'hidden'.

    This is one way of making all that coding be hidden during boot up as some people don't like it.

    Unless you REALLY want the text to show this is intended and there is no issue imo

    Wait, you have Windows7 on your PC but you want to run XP?

    Do you have seperate partitions with different OS on?

    Why don't you run the Gamez Launcher in 'Compatability' mode?

I have the BLACK SCREEN problem with win 7 and XP but ONLY WHEN I CONNECT MY SCREEN TO THE VIDEO CARD NVIDIA EVGA 9400GT If i connect directly to the motherboard (as im doing now) works normally but i can't play because im not connected to video card... :S It's not a problem with gamez aion.

    my boot sequence is


    Boot device 1 : HDD
    Boot Device 2: HDD

    the other boots are disabled.. i dont know who did this to my comp T_T who knows the boot sequence for an HP pavilion a1640n?? T_T
