Default

It's not a new problem, however there's multiple causes for the black screen.

A) For some people it's because the default resolution in EQ ini file is too low or too out of whack with their monitor's native resolution. I.e. 2560x1600 30"
B) Another reason is that it defaults to windowed mode, and alt-enter does not work because of a graphics tool (like ATT) running in the background.
C) Another reason is as Pringles mentioned, the Windowedmode setting in the EQ ini file. Most people set it to FALSE - otherwise when clicking near edge of the screen, it drops you back to windowed mode(thinks you're clicking on the Windows desktop)
D) And the reason I put, was because of multiple monitors - something people would probably over look.


So reason four isn't as common, but hopefully helps someone...Growlers for example.

@Growlers not that I know of. But you could search on Windows XP/7 forums to see if anyone knows how to force the computer to not recognize a second monitor.
