ok, to my system specs,
I'm using a quad core 2.4gig rig with a Geforce GTX 280 graphic GPU.
i dun overclock anything on my system..

Running the Windows 7 RTM 64 bit.
install Resident Evil 5.
Run directx 10 version, it loads , I can see the capcom logo..
but after the nvidia logo, the screen turns black and it stays there indefinitely..
i can still see my mouse cursor however and I can move it around normally..
the game just won't load pass that stage..

tried running the directx 9 version. same problem.

I've updated the Windows live, I've updated my sound drivers, I've updated my graphics driver.
I tried setting compatibility for it to vista, sp3 etc etc, same problem pops up..

anyone who ran into this problem and knows how to solve it, please post here..
thanz..
 
Solution
hey guys..

good news.. i figured out whats wrong with my game.
from some guys tip off in another forum, it appears to be a rather mundane issue thats causing my problem..

i can play this with AA one and at high resolution and stuff and no problem at all..
it also is faster than playing under my windows XP..
hehe..

oh sorry, to my problem, its because of my windows 7 incapability to play the intro movies from RE5.
after creating a dummy file of the same name and replacing those movies in the RE5 folder, the game ran as smooth as buttered grease..

but i tried with other movie formats and it all runs fine, it just can't run the RE5 movie at all.. not sure why..
anyway, i wanna thank kemical and highwayman for being so helpful .

you...
Hi..
It may happen that some of the files are not coping when you are installing the set up so better you reinstall it again and try... or may be some graphic driver problem which are not supported to your game....
 
(FOR ANYONE WHO REACHES HERE)

All you had to do was, download wma9dmod.dll, put it in the 32 bit and 64 bit system directories (for both types of programs), click/double-click on the file once from both directories to register it into the windows registry, and you are done.

Of course I reached this conclusion after I had this problem, and started reading this thread and searching the Internet. Nowhere was written this clearly. When I concluded this, I did this and I was through.

I already used to keep a copy of wmv9dmod.dll with me, from a previous problem where videos would not work.

Thanks
