well, yes i have. this happens not to offence but it does happen.there really isn't any other way to fix it but this. ok here it is. you see the - the sqaure and the x at the top right of the chess window where you log in and play some games. ok put your curser to where you can expand the window, just move it a little bit, and it should work. either then that, you just have to lose the game -_- i know it sucks

yes i have, couple of times

actually, i have the solution from my friend when u get the black window. This is what u need to do:
Go with right click of mouse to Properties, then go to Settings tab and there u shall find SCREEN RESOLUTION. The default resolution is 1024 x 768 , so all u need to do is make it to 800 x 600 and check your black window ( and u will see that its not black anymore :D) then get back resolution to 1024 x 768 and its over.
Hope i helped but im sure it will work because i had that kind of problem sooo many times.

was that sarcasm or u speak the truth :D

that was the truth, i really didnt know that

this happened to me several times too, i got a better grafic card and from then on i did'nt hat this problem again!

Thanks to all who replied. I will try the trick with screen resolution settings next time given by -extacy-.

u just have to zoom your current page nd thats it ;)

I have this problem with Maxthon.
With Opera. no problem

I've had it a couple of times. But thank you for giving us all a solution to it that doesn't whine to OP. I can't wait until I get black screen again to try it out :-).

This blacked out windows is the real pain, I had four ! times yesterday, and just had it today

Yes, this issue usually happens due to outdated graphics drivers or hardware acceleration conflicts in your browser or game client—try updating your graphics drivers first, and if that doesn't help, disable hardware acceleration in your system or browser settings; restarting the game or switching to a different browser can also resolve the problem quickly.
