Xariouz	Posted - 2007.06.16 17:11:00 - [1] Edited by: Xariouz on 16/06/2007 17:12:35 Edited by: Xariouz on 16/06/2007 17:10:33 Hey guys, I installed EVE yesterday @ XP and everything worked fine. but today I installed VISTA and now all I get is blackscreen at login screen. does some1 know whats wrong? Yesterday, when I had Windows XP everything worked perfectly. And today I wanted to try out Windows Vista, turns out to be a bad suggestion? Because now I cant play EVE ;'( all I get when I start EVE is a black window,which is suppose to be a beautiful login screen :p Can someone help me out? =)
Aramanan	Posted - 2007.06.16 18:22:00 - [2] All you need to do to fix this is change the propertys>compatability of the shortcut and check the box labeled "run as administrator" that will fix it. The Black screen is yet another nifty feature of vistas security settings. lol

Ajaxan	Posted - 2007.06.17 10:26:00 - [5] I upgraded to vista and I haven't really had any problems. Vista's controls over what can run are a lot more granular than XPs so you probably need to review your firewall settings. It could be blocking the running of EVE and then blocking the network access as well, or perhaps just one of the two. Either way you will need to address both to get EVE to work. It's not necessarily bad, just different.

Eshtir Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.06.17 11:54:00 - [6] I run Eve on Vista aswell without problems. Could it be that a driver issue (guessing gfx card) is preventing you of running Eve. forum rules \| [email protected] \| Our Website! Want to be an EVE-Online forum moderator? click here!

It's not necessarily bad, just different. Neither of this is the problem, I added EVE to the exception list at the firewall, but this didnt help either .... and blocking network access? how come I can sit on the net then? or do I misunderstand something? ... Originally by: Eshtir I run Eve on Vista aswell without problems. Could it be that a driver issue (guessing gfx card) is preventing you of running Eve. Well I just upgraded my gfx driver too, nothing changed =( comeon, why doesnt my vista allow me to run EVE?
Xariouz	Posted - 2007.06.17 13:13:00 - [8] Edited by: Xariouz on 17/06/2007 13:17:37 A LITTLE SUMMARY: I installed vista yesterday, and now I can't play EVE at my Vista, it worked perfectly at XP. All I get is a black login screen.... I tried every compatibility mode possible, I've tried to update my NVIDIA driver cause I used an old 81,98 driver which solved some problems earlier at XP. Neither the new nor the old driver fixed my problem, now I'm using 158.24_forceware_winvista_32bit_english_whql for my GeForce 6800XT. I tried to disable UAC, didn't affect anything. I tried to run Classic theme cause I read the Windows Aero Glass messed up EVE for some players out there... I tried to disable the windows firewall (in services, so I disabled it properly), didn't work. I tried to run EVE as ADMIN, didn't work.... I added EVE to exception list at the firewall... and EVE still won't run properly... Nothing seems to work and I'm getting very frustrated... Please help
Gar Nomar	Posted - 2007.06.17 13:29:00 - [9] You should remove and reinstall the EVE client... If EVE was already installed, you may have some problems after upgrading XP to Vista...

Balinaa	Posted - 2007.06.18 21:13:00 - [11] I'm having the same issue Xariouz. Nothing I do gets me past the black screen, which btw isn't at full screen. I have the latest drivers for my Geforce 7900GS and the latest DirectX. I've made an exception for it in the firewall (i even tried with the firewall disabled) and I still get nothing. Im also running it as an admin.
Cey Shirii	Posted - 2007.06.19 08:27:00 - [12] I'm running EVE on Vista just fine. I believe somewhere in the control panel you can set it to run all programs to run as administrator. That helps.
iCerberus The JORG Corporation FATAL Alliance	Posted - 2007.06.19 10:40:00 - [13] After some hours of problems getting EVE to run on vista i found the problem. 1. when you install vista remember to " SET PASSWORD " on your account creation during install.. without it eve will not start! you will be getting " black screen " 2. you can remove the password after you have your vista running 3. problems solved! vista runs like a dream and so does EVE hope this will help others so they dont have to use hours figuring this one out. Happy gaming :)

Balinaa	Posted - 2007.06.19 14:03:00 - [15] The only other think i think it might be. Is I downloaded the installer on a machine at work. I copied it to my ipod and took it home and installed it with that. The installer took a long time to come up on my home pc which is a Core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz. I wonder if doing that caused a permission problem on the file itself.
Plundaar	Posted - 2007.06.19 15:48:00 - [16] Hey guys, just so you know, power cycle the moniter, seems to work for me. Don't even need to wait 5 seconds.

Balinaa	Posted - 2007.06.19 20:33:00 - [19] Now even after patching to Rev II, it still won't launch. Just a black screen. Nice work CCP. I'm done playing. Great support to.
Mimir Kollabaris The Phoenix Rising Vigilance Infinitas	Posted - 2007.06.19 21:27:00 - [20] Edited by: Mimir Kollabaris on 19/06/2007 21:26:13 Try doing a clean install of Vista instead of an upgrade from XP, if that is what you did the first time. Nothing tops a clean install of your OS. --------------------------- Sing While You May!
Balinaa	Posted - 2007.06.19 21:40:00 - [21] Originally by: Mimir Kollabaris Edited by: Mimir Kollabaris on 19/06/2007 21:26:13 Try doing a clean install of Vista instead of an upgrade from XP, if that is what you did the first time. Nothing tops a clean install of your OS. It is a clean install, and suggesting that i reinstall my whole OS (which the computer contains my whole life of data) for a game is ridiculous. What i don't get is why does it work for some, and not others.

Don't even need to wait 5 seconds. Power Cycle the monitor???... is that a new feature in Vista? tell us how you do it please? =P Well I added a petition where I described my problem and I linked this thread, as a reply I got alot of things to try out which could've fixed my problem, but nothing helped me out =( sad to see that Balinaa is having the same problem, but now I can share my problems with someone and maybe we will get to a solution even quicker. Well I'm gonna post a bug report and see what happens next.

What I don't get is why does it work for some, and not others. I said if you upgraded from XP vs. a clean install. I'm not suggesting you do it again. If it didn't work the first time, it's unlikely it'll work a second time. Good luck sorting it out. --------------------------- Sing While You May!

If it didn't work the first time, it's unlikely it'll work a second time. Good luck sorting it out. with a clean install u mean like formatting partition C: and then installing Vista? like re-starting the computer with the Vista cd in it and install the most "proper" way? Should it really matter anyway? =\
Rahelia	Posted - 2007.06.20 16:27:00 - [25] Edited by: Rahelia on 20/06/2007 16:31:24 Edited by: Rahelia on 20/06/2007 16:28:12 I too had this problem since last month. Patching to Revelations II didn't cure it. The password thing never worked for me, like some people have previously suggested. I tried everything I could possibly think of. I've even read of some people on these forums (a few months back) who shrugged it off as a "hacked" Vista issue. That's utter nonsense, if you ask me. But anywho... As of twenty minutes ago, I stumbled across this thread. It's working just fine now for my laptop. Bear in mind the string value you add is case sensitive, and be careful as it deals with the registry.
yoyaz	Posted - 2007.06.20 16:35:00 - [26] works fine on vista for me
Rahelia	Posted - 2007.06.20 16:41:00 - [27] Originally by: yoyaz works fine on vista for me Then you were a lucky one. It's not the same for everyone, you know.
Xariouz	Posted - 2007.06.20 17:22:00 - [28] Originally by: Rahelia Edited by: Rahelia on 20/06/2007 16:44:57 I, too, have had this problem since last month. Patching to Revelations II didn't remedy it. The Vista user password thing never worked for me, like some people have previously suggested. Nor did disabling UAC, running as administrator, etc etc. I tried everything I could possibly think of. I've even read of some people on these forums (a few months back) who shrugged it off as a "hacked" Vista issue. That's utter nonsense, if you ask me. My case in point: my friend can run EVE on his hacked Vista perfectly, yet one of my other friends, who uses the exact same hacked Vista, cannot get it to work for the life of him. Therefore, one can safely say it's not due to having an illegal version of Vista. But anywho... As of twenty minutes ago, I stumbled across this thread. It's working just fine now on my laptop. Bear in mind the string value you add is case sensitive, and be careful as it deals with the registry. I hope this solves everyone's black login screen issue as it did mine. All cause of friggin' fonts. It worked!!!! <3<3<3 I luv u! :p It really worked out for me =D =D =D
Xariouz	Posted - 2007.06.20 17:24:00 - [29] Here is the answer to everyone with the same problem as me: Got the answer: - Open a terminal - Enter "regedit", press Enter, a new window is showing up - Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" - Create a new String - Name the new String "Fonts" and give it the value "C:\windows\fonts" (case sensitive) - You are done and the login screen should show up now (found it here http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=540320&page=1)
DOTA	Posted - 2007.06.20 19:48:00 - [30] My font's part is already there so I can't add it. The splash screen comes up and then nothing.
