Black Screen issue.

[Salun]

So I looked around the forums and internet trying to find the solution to teh problem. Downloaded the DLL files to try and fix it yet I still get teh same problem. Black sky in the day and when I go to external veiw for ships Say undocking the velocities change.

Case in point Approaching the ISS. I peek out into eternal veiw and suddenly the ISS is 3 meters moving faster towards me or Im moving away. I tried using fresh installs of orbiter and that does nothing to solve teh problem. Looked at all the threads I could find and found nothing to work.

I plead to anyone who can help me. FIX MY ORBITER

Nvidia graphics card.
Windows 7 64bit
4 gigs RAM memory

I hate to post a repeat thread but Im desperate. Its been two months scince I formated and Im dieing here without a usable orbiter

You are clearly missing the proper DLL files.
Missing meaning, that Orbiter can not find them. Where did you put them?
Try the directory where the orbiter.exe is and if that does not work, try system32 and properly registering the DLLs. Google will help you there.

:goodposting:

The DLL's themselves can be downloaded from the article here.

Put them into the SAME directory as orbiter.exe and it'll all work.

Tried that as well. Tried putting them both in the 32 directory and teh Orbiter Folder. Still doesn't work.

Can you post a screenshot of the issue, include the orbit MFD as well please.

Well I fixed it. But it was teh weirdest fix ever Had to delete Orbiter from my PC as a whole. Then Install new graphics card updates. Then reinstalled orbiter. Poof all done.....Minus 1.2 gigs of addons -.-Didn't need the DLL's Im just curious if theres any explanation to this?

Since reinstalling Orbiter fixed it and you had 1.2 GB of add-ons installed, it sounds like a buggy add-on (or add-ons) was the problem here. "Uninstalling" Orbiter will have absolutely no effect on your graphics driver because Orbiter is simply a directory on your hard drive: if it's not running, it's not affecting anything. However, reinstalling a fresh Orbiter will fix any buggy add-on problems since the add-ons are no longer present. Remember, it only takes one buggy add-on to trash an entire Orbiter installation (i.e., to cause a CTD or other problems at random intervals).

The good news is that since it's working now you can start re-installing your favorite add-ons one-at-a-time and re-testing after each one. That way if it happens again you will know which add-on caused the problem.

And make a backup so you can roll back to a previous point!
