I was having issue with Fifa 2010 in Windows 7 , when i finish playing , after quiting fifa my desktop wallpaper gets covered by a black color overlay. I can see the icons but not the wallpaper , first thing i did i downloaded the latest display driver from Nvidia but it didnt help. I also tried with the beta drivers from nvidia , no way the black is still black, so i googled for solution , the "fifa 2010 wallpaper goes black " search keyword bring me lot of sites with fifa wallppers , some nice ones too :), i googled and googled nd found two other people (one in a forum nd in other in Yahoo ask) like me both having nvidia Graphics Processor Unit , but none didnt get a relevant reply. So i decided to find a solution my self.
After a thousands of trial nd error , i even loaded fifia in debugger to find problem ,but i couldn't find solution. one way was to logoff and login again , but thats not a applicable solution, then last i found a simple fix
Open task manager ( Press Alt+Ctrl+Del then select task manger OR right click on task bar then click on "Start Task Manager )
Find a process named dwm.exe in Process tab ( Its "Desktop Window Manger" if its not visible tick "show process from all the users " )
select the process and kill him :)
Dont worry the application will restart immediately and youe wallpaper will be back
If you continuously kill dwm.exe you may loose windows aero from desktop , to restore it goto Control panel > Administrative Tools > Services , look for service named "Desktop Window manger service" , then restart it , your aero will be back :>

Thanks :) it fixed mine as well and my graphic card is ATI Radeon ...
ReplyDeleteThere's another solution, just restart the service, aero won't stop and the process properly restarts.
ReplyDeleteThis works for ati at least, but surely will work for any graphic card
another solution is to select one of the old windows themes[classic or high contrast ones] and then select your aero theme or downloaded windows theme again....

Hey Nizam, are you by any chance able to play the game in a widescreen resolution? I've been poking around the net and I've found only one or two other guys my problem, which is that I can't play the game at resolutions beyond 1024 x 768. The other option is 800 x 600. I haven't been able to find a solution for this and I was wondering if you've had the same problem. My graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon 5470.
ReplyDeletehi, it worked via task manager but will it turn black again or have i cured the problem. if not how to cure? thanks
