Black Screen -- Fix for Windows Systems + Comment other fixes
This is what I believe to be the fix for some Windows 7 Users with the black screen on startup. I had this too and found this fix myself.

1. Go to \Steam\SteamApps\common\Call of Duty World at War\main\video.
2. Rename the folder video, to anything.
3. Go into video and delete the file named Treyarch.bik.
4. Launch COD WAW.
5. Adjust your settings to what your fit your system.
6. Close COD.
7. Go back to the folder (video), and rename it back to video.
8. Relaunch COD, and wah-la. It should work.

Now, any other fixes you have found to work for yourself and/or others, comment that below!

No, just some people get the black screen. Which is fixable, but a pain when you can't find your correct fix.

I often get a black screen for about five minutes when I change from triple to single monitors.
