Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Technical Problems Video display lost

I have tried the following:
Reset display to 16 bit color and lowest resolution - my resolution slider will not let me go below 800 x 600 pixels, this is the far left end.

Overriden the refresh rate in dxdiag to 60.

Shut down every single extra process I can.

Downloaded and installed patch 1.45.

Downloaded and installed the Microsoft Game patch referred to elsewhere in this forum (Microsoft KB article 327979).

My problem continues, regardless of whether I run the Test mode or load the game. This is what my config.div file says:

// display width
width 640

// display height
height 480

// Allow FSAA mode.
fsaa 0

// Use Fog.
fog 1

// activate smooth mode
smooth 1

// disables fog rendering
no fog

// set the color mode
rgb 555

// Select alpha bit
Alpha bit 1

My slashed.cfg file is nothing but blank.

I don't seem to have the other slashed-d3d6 file.

I ran dxdiag again and this time ran the test direct draw and test direct 3d options. Here are my results:

As you see, my problem occurred again when testing the full screen direct draw (black screen, had to reboot and turn off and on monitor)

and when I ran the direct 3d d3d7 and 3d38 (black screen, reboot, etc etc)

Any ideas, Raze?

All other games I have ever played, including Morrowind, Neverwinter Nights, Dungeon Siege, Temple of Elemental Evil to name some of the latest, have never given me any problems.
