I've been trying to run zDoom and gzDoom on Windows 7 with zDoomLauncher3 but whenever I launch the system freezes with a black screen and I have to unplug the PC before I can do anything else. I know I have all my files in the proper places because I ran the game with much success on XP. How can I run my favorite game on my new PC?

Any other information about your system spec? Apparently there is a problem with the ATI drivers which can cause a problem similar to what you describe.

The video card is a Radeon or ATI HD 5770 and the OS is Windows 7 64 bit. I have the exact same problem with some other games, including Doom 3.

Ok, in that case it's definitely a driver or hardware issue.

The latest ATI drivers for Radeon cards seem to have a problem with GZDoom, if you have driver version 10.2, downgrade to version 10.1, I've tested it and it works fine.

Oooh! The older driver indeed did the trick! Thank you so very much for your help!

If Doom 3 also has problems with this driver maybe that will pressure AMD to fix it quicker...

I hope so. Doom must live forever!
