Ha ha Thanks!

It doesn't seem to work however. I have version 9.1974 I'm trying to install the Redist version as we speak. It seems to be an issue with the driver or video card. I've tried to run the sample project that came with A7 and got the same issue.

I have an ATI Radeon HD 2400. My computer is a dell vostro 200. I bought it in 2008. The funny thing is the drivers seemed to work fine on a previous version of G studio A7. Not sure if anything changed.

Is DirectX a new thing? I feel like A6 compiled on anything? Was A6's rendering Engine based on OpenGl?

I have tried it on a different laptop as well, but so far the screen is still black. I've also tried on Windows Vista and Windows 7 with a similar result. I'd be grateful for any help or insight. I have a pretty big presentation coming up which could kick off my professional game development career. I could get by on video, but it would be a shame if I can't see my work. Thanks to those that have chimed in thus far.

/pitiful plea.
