GR is maybe not compatible for this game on Windows 8.
It maybe loads a defaut graphic driver that is not included in W.8.

What about the aomx.exe task when there is the black screen : is it higer, lower (for ram and CPU) than when you launch it and it works?

both times they use about the same amount of resources.

what i did find interesting though was when i alt + tab out of the black screen and then go back to the game, there is a black background with the main menu visible, but i cant use it.

Maybe the GR macro is not compatible with Win 8.
