Full Version: OpenGL: Black screen, forcing reboot (windowed or not)

All versions of Dolphin under Win7, when using the OpenGL plugin, are causing my entire screen to go black, and presumably locking up Windows because I cannot access the task manager either. This happens regardless of whether or not I choose fullscreen.

DirectX9 works, although there are reasons why I'd like to use OpenGL. Namely the fact that some games just don't work well under DirectX9. Everything works fine in WinXP, although quite a bit more slowly.

Yes I am using the 64-bit version in a 64-bit Win7. Yes my drivers are fully up to date. Yes this happens regardless of what game I'm playing.

Any clues?
What graphics card ?
