tell me if it worked

This problem is around since a few month in combination with WinXP - so I guess you use WinXP.
So far as I know there is no fix for it and there was/is no statement from the GM´s or Mod´s about it...

I have tried to reproduce it on my old XP-PC but "unfortunately" the black-screen didn´t appeared...so I wasn´t able to search for the problem.
Looks like it is related to the combination of hardware/graphic-card (shader-system) and the OS/software I guess.

Updating your system (Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Net Framework, DirectX,...), your hardware-drivers - and especially your graphic-card -driver is the only hint I can give you - but in the most cases it will not help...

Sorry to say - but updating your OS to Win7 or higher seems to be the only real solution so far...since I can´t reproduce the problem.
Send a support-ticket about the problem - there is nothing you can lose...maybe they know about a secret-fix

Edit: ...and btw your forum-name is some kind . . . "irritating" ...
