Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago Black Screen When Playing Amnesia

It's likely that this problem was already solved, and if it was, I'm sorry for posting a new thread, but if I haven't tried a solution yet, it's probably because I don't understand it and I need someone to walk me through it.

Whenever I launch Amnesia, the white text and buttons are there and are functional, but the background is a solid black. When I start the game, the captions and sound are there, and when the flashback ends a white dot appears in the center of my screen (which I'm assuming is the crosshairs), but my screen is otherwise completely black.

Attached is my hpl log.

This is my computer: http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/lapto...01US-specs

My video driver and DirectX are up to date.

Should I be following this?: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thr...l#pid89122 I'm a bit confused and I don't know if it applies to me.

Is that different from a video driver?
