Everytime i try to run the game, my screen goes completely black except for the right most portion of the screen which still manages to display my desktop. There is no cpu activity in the task manager. Can anybody advise me to what the problem might be. I have tried every single remedy posted in these forums yet nothing seems to work.
Here is ym debug info for those who may need it.
