Problem with Win XP and AGS - SOLVED

[fred]

I just installed windows xp on my computer and found that the ags game I have been puttiing together under windows 2000 no longer works. I can open it in the editor and edit it, but when I test it or run the compiled .exe file, all I get is an empty/black windows-standard-type window. I can hear from the sounds that the game is running, but how come there's no visual? And the game isn't set to run in windowed-mode anyway, so how come it opens in a window?

note: i have been using both ags 2.61 and ags 2.6_sp1 to develop the game under windows 2000, and that didn't give me any compatibility problems there. Does win XP handle this differently?

I hope someone else has had this kind of problem or will be able to help me in some way, as I'm really depressed to see hundreds of hours of work compiling to a black screen

Note: I SOLVED the problem: updating my display drivers and reinstalling directx. Now I can edit, compile and play my ags-game(s) again.
