This black-screen problem is making my life a complete misery. It wrecked my first game and now, after uninstalling and reinstalling, it's wrecked my second game.

Help !
Never mind. Figured it out eventually.

For all you PC Semi-Literate folks like myself out there, the following way might be the way forward.

From windows start menu:

<CLICK> My computer
<CLICK> Drive C (or whatever drive the game installed itself in)
<CLICK> program Files (or whatever folder the game installed itself in)
<CLICK> 1C Company (this is a folder)
<CLICK> 7.62 - High Calibre (this an icon)
<CLICK> BMP (folder)
<CLICK> Hud (folder)

This opens up several sub-folders. You'll need to go through each of these one by one. Some of these folders also have other sub-folders within. Again you have to go through these as well. A few of these folders open directly into files.

Either way, when you finally get to the files within these folders you need to either select the file directly, if theres only one, or if there are several, you select them as a group by:

<CLICK> Organise - (on the top bar menu - Windows Vista only. Can't remember the equivalent on XP)
<CLICK>Select All

Then to make the files read only:

<CLICK>Organise
<CLICK>properties
<CLICK>read-only
<CLICK>Apply
<CLICK>Okay

Then on to the next folder until all the files are done.

At least that's way I did mine. No black-screens yet, fingers crossed.

Goodluck
