[Q] Bluestacks 0.8.2.3018 Some Apps,Games Black Screen Problem (OS: Windows 8.1) - General Questions and Answers

Like others I have also Black Screen Problems. This is not happening to all apps but especially in games like Temple Run , Temple Run Oz, Drag Racing Bike Edition even Twitter. For Games I can hear sound but nothing is visible in my eyes! I think my Bluestacks is latest (0.8.2.3018), I even make a new windows setup (Windows 8.1 is my OS) but problem still continue. So now anyone can tell me, what next I can really do to solve this weird problem?

I think it's because of Incompatible driver software and/or other Windows Incompatibility issue.. Try to troubleshoot the app and Run under Windows 7 environment with Administrator Privileges or consider updating your driver software for your Video Adapter.. If nothing else works, You can always use Virtualization Softwares like Oracle Virtual Box or VMWare or any other to Create Virtual Environment and Install Earlier version of Windows i.e. Windows XP/Vista/7 or 8 .. Hope it helps..

How did you install Bluestacks on Windows 8.1? I've tried numerous ways and attempts but they all fail during install.

You might be right, I will try to follow your suggestion. Thanks

I've seen many people reporting issues installing apps and other softwares or repacks and kernel dll error.. If this is your case, consider refreshing your windows installation of you've installed 8.1 update from store.. Otherwise you can just perform a fresh OS install.. Hope it helps with you..

Troubleshooting BlueStacks Black Screen Issue
I would say this problem is most certainly caused by incompatibility or/and outdated graphic card drivers.
You can troubleshoot this issue with a program that comes with BS: C:\Program Files\BlueStacks\HD-GLCheck.exe
Run the program and save the output to a text file for easy reviewing later.
Code:
cmd> "C:\Program Files\BlueStacks\HD-GLCheck.exe" > GLCheck.txt
Open the output log and scroll to bottom to check for errors such as any missing GL_EXTENSIONS.
If you see any missing extension, you probably will be getting a black screen if the app or program required that GL_EXTENSIONS to runs.
A missing extension does not necessary mean your graphic card does not support that extension, it could be as simple as the driver is outdated or does not have the GL feature built-in.
Your can try to update your graphic driver by visiting the links provided below, use the 'Auto Detect GPU' feature whenever the site support it.
Drivers from GPU OEM should be newer than the one provided by your PC OEM.
* Recommend to use Internet Explorer for GPU detection; Java might be needed.
Code:

I attempted codelover's method, failed miserably. I get so close to completing it and it fails (Screen capture: http://puu.sh/5AlZo/2065d2082a.jpg ). I guess I can do a system reload to windows 8, install it along with everything else and update to 8.1.

See the post title, i was referring to the 'Black Screen' issues.
For your situation, you can try use the Offline Installer to install.
Also check the windows temporary directory for latest BS setup log, the log can tell why the installation failed in the first place.

Why i have black point and quadrate, when i running clash of clans? please help to fix it...

can't install XAPs

hi..
i used to use MultiXapInstall to install XAPs but from two week ago.. i'm unable to install XAPs through MultiXapInstall (and the others xap installers )..
when i try to install a xap i get this error :
Code:
Connect() :: Class not registered
at first i get :" parameter is incorrect " error so i use some Registery Cleaner programs and after that i got this class not registered error..
What should i do?!
sry for my weak EN
any help?!
Reinstall the official SDK. One of the required components was probably removed or corrupted. I also tend to recommend against running any of those "registry cleaner"-type programs...
Just for the record, I assume the official XAP deploying tool isn't working right now either?
thank you for reply.. i reinstalled WPSDK but nothing changed. i still "get class not registered" error..
what should i do next?
There's apparently a leap day bug affecting Zune; it might be related? Try again tomorrow. If that doesn't work, the only thing I can think of is to either try a different PC, or to completley remove WPSDK and Zune, reboot, then re-install them.
i reinstall both WPSK and zune several times. and now when i try install an app or a game with Multi Xap Install the application Stops Working and making me close it..
this bug is killing me!!
Try using the official XAP deployment tool, and see what error it gives.
excuse me.. what is Official XAP Deployment Tools? i searched but nothing found
if you mean installing via Zune.. it's ok with no problem.
P.S: when i try with WPV XAP Deployer i got this error :
Specified Cast is not valid

Something like this happened to me a while back. Are you sure your installing the right developer tools. I'm assuming you have mango. Dev tools should be 7.1
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
thank you for answering.. yes i have mango and also WPSK 7.1 is installed..
I mean the "Application Deployment" tool (xapdeploy.exe) that comes with the SDK. I don't think you can get much more official than that. It's relatively feature-poor, but it's also both less buggy and gives better error messages than most of the third-party deployers.
You should try using the official XAP deployment tool installed with the SDK. It's on your start menu Also make sure that Zune is launched.
found the solution xap deployer parameter error (fixed)

hi..
I changed my devices name to lumia and tried deplying a game and it worked so i guess
changing the name is the solution. I got suspicious about the name because usually my phone's name appears as windows phone but this time it was windows phone 09832 or something i dont remember the exact numbers but it works for me.
To fix parameter error in deploying tool Just rename your device to lumie or anything else

[Q] Can't install Kies.

Hello!
I have a problem with Kies, I've searched around the site but couldn't an answer.
The thing is, I download Kies from the samsung site, and when I open the .exe, I see a green bar and after that it disappears and the installer never opens.
I have Windows XP x64 bit.
Thanks!
do you have a download manager?
It's possibly the download didn't complete properly or is corrupt in some way. I would download again using a download manager (downthemall) is a popular firefox add-on
Failing that try obtaining the installer from a different site, and/or possibly try a different version
Edit: windows XP x64 is a pretty bad version of windows to be on (its not really 64bit) I would suggest upgrading your operating system at some stage

I just installed downthemall and downloaded Kies again, but the same thing happened. The installer won't open.
I've already tried downloading the installer from a different site but the same thing happened.
I have no idea what's the issue here.
Yeah I was planning to update it to windows 7 but I don't know when, I don't like much the way it looks
There are a lot of program compatibility issues with windows xp 64, I would say install on any other machine and it will work
just because its 63 1/2 bit doesnt mean you needs another computer, as i have win xp (almost) (64BiT) as well and ,win 7 on my laptop and regular win xp 32.5 bit and none WORK WITH KIES! ITS SAMSUNG JUST FACE THE TRUTH AND DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A NEW OS JUST TO BE VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED, if their are any compatibility issues they are due to programs not being "MADE" compatible with it. besides i would rather be the one compatible with my computer then my apps

I also have the same problem. Windows 7, x64.
Has anyone found a solution?
Sorry for bringing this thread back to life, but I have a similar problem with KIES, only mine says that my pc is not connected to the internet!!!! OF course it doesn't take into account that I'm posting this as we speak.... Of all the problems an installation could face, internet connection is the one that messes with it?!
Does anyone have a solution?
i tried some months ago to install kies drivers and in my win7 64bit i don't have any problems
but i tried kies programs only first time, then i deleted it.
some days ago i get cyanogenmod to delete jellymod that have a lot of problems, also via usb ( i can't get files to my computer that appear a pop up of windows that says my devices is going off... too strange
anyway i nned to try now with cyano, if i have the same pop up, i guess is a usb cable, or another problem that i need to find and resolve...

Hey, and you checked the kies is compatible with windows xp 64 bit? With Windows 7 is definitely the xp but it is better to check.

Allwinner A10 Livesuite Install the driver fail error

I have had endless issues with 'Install the driver fail!' errors on numerous machines, this occurs when trying to launch livesuit.exe in order to flash many types of A10 tablet. This is a fix which worked for me on several platforms.
You will find something like LiveSuitPack_version_1.09_20111101 in the unpacked livesuite folder (I used version 1.09, it is similar for 1.07 which is the other version commonly found).
You should run this as administrator and it will install the relevant drivers and then you will be able to run the livesuite executable.
Under Windows 7 simply right click and choose 'Run as administrator', you will be prompted to allow the installation of an unsigned driver, to which you should say yes.
Under Windows 8 this will still fail with a similar message. This is because, by default Windows 8 does not allow the installation of unsigned drivers. To overcome this, you need to use CTRL-ALT-DELETE to get to the screen with the restart/shut down/log off button in the bottom right corner.
Hold SHIFT and click on restart.
This will take you though a series of screens. Choose Troubleshoot, Advanced Options, then Startup Settings. The machine will now reboot. On startup you will be taken to a new maneu screen, where you can choose option 7 to allow the installation of unsugned drivers.
Now you can run the LiveSuitPack_version_1.09_20111101 as administrator, and all should be well.
Enjoy.
Thank you!!

thank you sooooo much, my sons Eken T10 crashed and was in a boot lock months ago and i had gone through every thread i could find on the web over the livesuite not working unyil i read this!!! Worked a treat
It's alive!
dm871, thank you so much!
I would just add, I had already unpacked version and this was ruining all installation process; I didn't know, where to find that LiveSuitPack_version_1.09_20111101.exe package.
Thats why I'm posting packed version here, it's from Ritmix site. May be someone can't find proper file too.
Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64, now all works well.
Thanks for the directions on how to install the driver on windows 8, I was having lots of issues, because windows 8 does not tell me that is blocking the install of the drivers. I didn't know that windows 8 had the option to reboot into a mode where It would accept unsigned drivers. (This is actually really helpful for me, because it seems I have plenty of other instances where I need to be installing unsigned drivers at work also for lesser known random devices.)
Thank you everyone!

Win86emu 0.6 for Windows RT 8.1 working

Hi,
I have uploaded a working version of Win86emu 0.6 ready for working in Windows RT 8.1 with jailbreak: http://www45.zippyshare.com/v/iMffGf8P/file.html
Instructions:
1. Extract all files to c:\ (it will create a x86node folder)
2. Execute c:\x86node\install\x86node.reg
3. Run c:\x86node\windows\postinstall.exe
4. For Windows 8.1, copy c:\x86node\Install\Windows 8.1\x86node\Windows\SystemNT\ntdll.nt.dll to c:\x86node\Windows\SystemNT\ntdll.nt.dll and override the current dll.
After this, you can run c:\x86node\windows\launcher.exe and choose a x86 exe to run (e.g. c:\x86node\windows\regedit.86.exe)
Edit: I forgot step 4
Attempting to run anything results with this error
The procedure entry point RtlConvertUiListToApiList could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\x86node\Windows\SystemNT\ntdll.nt.dll
This error comes up a few times after clicking through the application may actually run but wont function as intended.
Winamp 2.95 Installs, runs and plays Mp3's
CPU usage is around 13% idle 260MB ram usage​
VLC 0.7.2 installed, runs in a command line only, wont play anything.

Then, win86emu should be working ok. Not every app is supported. Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259449 for compat suggestions
I know, but it would be nice if you could include msu.dll that's the main problem (if it's possible to include)
Is this still being based off of ReactOS?
Edit: yes it is, too bad we couldn't get mamaich back on board to continue their development of this.

Windows 10 on Surface RT working (edited thread)

Read carefully, this is about the installation of Windows 10 ARM32 on the Surface RT1. Previously tried the Elektrohax tutorial (video on youtube and also posted at Alexenferman.com) but I was unlucky on my attempts.
This is the mentioned tutorial:
How to install Windows 10 on the Surface RT - Alexenferman
www.alexenferman.com
I followed the instructions but failed twice. Now I know what was wrong. The tutorial IS FINE, it works. The thing is you have to first apply a patched version of Windows RT8.1 and run some scripts, that was fine, now the specifics:
Don't "RUN" the scripts, do not double click, this was the issue on my side. It doesn't matter if you run the script as "Administrator", I repeat, in my case this was the problem, DO NOT RUN or just double click.
INSTEAD, open a CMD window elevated to Administrator privileges. Move to the location of the scripts, this means get into the specific folder, only then run the script.
This means, if you placed the script on a folder named "whatever", right clicking with administrator rights and then execute does-NOT have the same effect as getting inside the folder as in "CD\whatever" and then "name-of-the-script".
I tried several times and I can confirm this is the thing that failed on my attempts.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Being that said, that website has all the instructions and links. Follow the tutorial carefully step by step. Keep the files on a safe place, who knows how long those will be kept on the web.
After my failed attempts I tried the chinese tutorial posted on Youtube by cong cheng on his channel. It worked, it even has some scripts working as installer, yes it works BUT after taking a deep look it's a method that applies a set of files made for some Nokia device, while it works, it is in chinese, has some broken things and it is SLOWER than Alexen Ferman method.
In short:
- Chinese - applies an already customized W10 version, way slower
- Alexen - it is an installer, you end up with a much better version
Good luck.
So what did you follow? The forums here seem to contain loads of broken links. Love to try W10 on my Surface since it's only collecting dust in my closet.
Thread edited and updated above and below.
Regarding Windows 10 on the Surface RT (CHINESE TUTORIAL)
I have no idea what's the risk on using a chinese modified pack. This one is different to the one at Alexen Ferman website, here I didn't need to apply all those patches (extras, after finishing the install), instead it worked out of the box. It's the same release as far as I know, but it's been customized.
My experience, what works:
o Edge works, better than IE11
o MyTube works (Youtube works amazingly well on this APP)
o System not as fast as W8.1
o I just clicked "Activate Windows" the usual way and it worked
o Cameras work out of the box (front and rear), no patches needed
o Can run ported apps (Paint.net, Halite, etc).
o YES, you gain access to some other apps on the STORE but hey, read below
X Office was in chinese (preinstalled) and slower, couldn't change it
X Removed it and installed the Office package provided by Alex Ferman
¬ After reinstalling, Office now is FASTER (tested and confirmed)
X No alternative browsers (just some but it's just IE with skin)
X Was kind of tricky to remove chinese (there are still some traces)
X Store doesn't fully work, just allows installing whatever is in my library (owned)
X VLC is way slower and ugly, worked way better on W8.1RT
- XX The Brightness control is kinda broken. You have to disable automatic changes and use only manual (via button), only there you can apply diff real levels of brightness to the screen, BUT, it won't work forever, after a while it will get stuck and you would have to reboot and set it right after going to the desktop.
- XX I'm still exploring this, I don't fully like it to be honest. The touch keyboard works, yes but in my case at times stops making sounds, and also stops working. Unplug and plug again fixes this but... meh.
It wasn't that great, I was actually considering going back to Windows 8.1 RT.
Now the final install I have (Alexen method):
Everything works, you just have to follow the tutorial and you will actually install W10, it's not an out of the box ready image, it is an installer. The only broken thing so far is the brightness control as explained above (it's an issue with the release so it won't go away), and the store didn't work for me, but there is an alternate method to install apps described at Alexen website.
Other than that EVERYTHING is better, it's fast, decent. I'm keeping my RT1 with Windows 10.
Read carefully, follow each step and don't give up. That's all I can say.
I did manage to get this working on my Surface 2 myself, was an interesting experience I don't really have any need for this thing anymore, but I have been pissed about buying a locked out piece of equipment for 8 years, so more just to principal of the thing! Thanks to Alex for all the work.
How do you install office from alexenferman? I tried running setup, but it says this app cant run on your pc. Also have you found a program to un pack .7z packages?
Has anyone written a guide on how to go back to windows rt 8.1?

Great that you got it working, now that you mention that you don't have any need for the Surface anymore, consider selling it to one of the member of the team working on modifications, unless you change your mind now that your surface works differently. In case you decide to move on, consider posting here on the Discord community

I simply downloaded the package and ran the Office Installer on the Surface (now with Windows 10ARM), your comment makes me think perhaps, you don't actually have a Surface with Tegra processor, please check. .7z? search for 7zip, that's the program to extract the files from the compressed package .7z

Nope, impossible. They didn't create a binary (executable app) for the platform and the way it's built (the source code) seems unlikely for someone else to do it.
Anyone interested please check the Discord link posted on this message.

I just got around to reading this. Thank you so much! I'm back on windows rt 8.1. One problem: Secure Boot is still disabled. Is there a way to re-enable it?

You should repart the drive using the official image downloaded from microsoft's site. If you want to come back to completely stock you have to re-install windows using the standard procedure, not the installation through wim file
im having an issue at the installing the wim using the dism. says system cant find the path specified. i verified the drive labels and all any ideas?
can some help me, after successful installed and load windows 10 on surface RT... when i want to run CMD as administrator. it gave an error "The Parameter is invalid".
Looking for some help, I got to the Win10 install stage and keep getting 0xc000000f blue screen error on Win10 boot. From the guide, it says I didn't choose to not copy system files when creating my recovery drive, but I didn't have any other options. I unchecked the only box available. Not sure what is wrong or how to fix. I can't reset, it asks me for my recovery drive, it doesn't accept the drive I created.
Edit: I ended up creating a new recovery drive from my Win10 PC, unchecked the box to copy system files, downloaded the Win RT recovery zip file from MS, copied the contents of that folder into the new recovery drive, copied the Win10 .wim from Alexen to the flash drive, and retried step 4 (I had already installed the hacked RT image and disabled secureboot, etc.). It is now booting, at least getting farther than it did before, after flashing the Win10 image.
Running into an issue right after the installing the patched image I get to the Region and Language select after the reboot and cannot select anything. After a bit the display just goes black. What can I do?
