Was a member of this website about 3-4 years ago but got real busy in real life and stopped playing. So I decided that things have settled down and wanted to get back into the golf sim again but things haven't gone well. First I did read where some on this site are playing the 08 on Windows 7 with no problems...ok some things needed to be worked out but they are pursuing that white menace around, under and over lucious fairways and rough. So I load the program and it loads fine and starts up fine then the luck of the Irish didn't work, yes I click on to play now and I am greeted with a black screen and a white glove. OK that means game running but graphics now rendering sure enough check tskmgr and yep running...Uggghh. So I shutdown game restart and same problem..Yikes wondering could this be my HD 6870 graphic cards in crossfire too much for the 5 year old technology. Being the tech I am I decide to load VirtualBox and run it on Windows XP knowing it works fine on that OS. Load the game just fine but...Yep u guessed it... the game may not run on the graphics you have setup. Now that maybe the virtual box which really just actually renders graphics in 3D but don't believe it runs from your actual graphics card. Anyway removed that program and I am debating about partitioning the 1TB hard drive I have on board and setting up Windows XP on that and believe me I am debating because I know how much more work that will take :( Anyways just wondering if others might have had this problem and have some insight on either running it on Windows 7 64bit or the on going debate about partition and Windows XP. Thanks in advanced for reading this rather long explanation and for throwing out any information my way it will be appreciated.
Specs of System:
Crosshair V Formula Motherboard
FX 8350 AMD 8 core Processor
16GB DDR3 GSkill 1600 Ram
2 x HD 6870 XFX Graphic Cards in Crossfire

OCZ 248GB SSD, 1TB Seagate HDD, Samsung 830 120GB SSD (Games Loaded Here)
Ultra 850W Modular Power Supply
System built by the head Nerd of Nerdz4Rent uhh that would be me :) |

Hi there
I saw on your pc specs that you running 2 graphic cards in crossfire mode.Tiger woods 08 doesnt support crossfire or SLI mode(Nvidia).I think this is defintely your problem because
I also once tried to run game in SLI mode with exactly the same results===black and white screens,after i checked the tiger woods documentation i saw that the SLI mode is the problem.
Hope this clears up your problem. |

| Stylar figured out the situation wasn't really the factor of crossfire or SLI in my case it was the resolution size within the game with my setup of 1920x1080 the game allowed something like 1440x960 which the graphics had a problem with dropped to 1024x768 which worked just fine. Thought I would let that be known good to be able to chase that white ball virtually as I do in real time...lol Thanks |

| Since switching to W7 (64 bit) from XP on the same system and video card (NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO 512) I've run into a very interesting symptom. I've researched thoroughly and understand that the 1920 rez may be a problem, but reducing it on my desktop didn't clear this up. I have switchyed back and forth between 2010 drivers and 2014 drivers for this card, but to no avail, even while re-installing the game at various junctures. What happens is on start-up I can hear the menu music, but black screen. Go to open task manager, then cancel and I can see the screen. I can set-up a game, but won't see the loading screen. It will enter the given course, but black screen w/ white glove indicator. Do the task manager/cancel operation twice, and I'm in game normally. I even activated the wide screen "fix" and it looks and performs normally, except the overhead screen doesn't show immediately, but it will show after a few shots. It seems that this is largely tied to the graphics card, but it makes no sense that "old" drivers that made it run perfectly on XP has this compatibility problem on W7 (and yes, changed the compatability options and "run as administrator" selections as well). |

Hiya, i remember i had something similar with TW05 on Win7.
I installed a small program called: Fraps, and after that it worked perfect.
Maybe worth to try it, read my post about fraps on link below, i think you should try it with TW08:

did you change the resolution IN GAME like shadesofalan ?
graphics drivers - suggest go with what worked before
updating drivers unless they specifically fix something for you is counter productive
it's an old card, doubt the generic driver updates pumped out by Nvidea are oging to do anything for it - but check the README file to be sure |

I''m having pretty much the exact same problem. I was running TW08 fine on my old Windows 7 64 bit PC with a Nvidia Geforce 8800 Ultra. I just built a new PC with the same Windows 7 64 bit operating system however now I''m using the Geforce Titan Black. I''ve tried some current games like The Evil Within and Alien Isolaton and they run fine. Tiger Woods 08 and some older games give me just sound and nothing but a black screen now. Some older games run ok in windowed mode, however TW08 doesn''t offer a windowed mode. Any help with this frustrating situation would be greatly appreciated. I''ve tried everything daflyboys did. |

Sometimes the older graphics drivers are working better for Tw08, some people reverted to an older driver for their graphics cards.
You are using Geforce 700 Titan Black, that is a pretty new card, so i don t think you can go back to very old drivers.
I believe there are about 10 released drivers so far.
When you want to try an older driver, you can go to link below:

Much thanks for your quick reply and suggestion. Installing the February 2014 drivers did the trick. Only problem is this version doesn''t have an SLI mode option for my two cards. Hopefully the next oldest one does. Would be nice if Nvidia addressed this issue in future updates.
Edit: Turns out it was related to the antialiasing setting I had chosen and not the latest driver version. So, thankfully, I can finally play TW08 on my new PC and have the SLI enabled too. :) |

I learned from some seasoned players that the solution to my problem was very simple (and yes, I agree that older drivers can trump newer ones).
*Simply left click on your shortcut game icon and choose "properties".
*Click on the Compatibility tab.
*Check box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and choose "Windows XP (SP3)".
*Under "Settings" (on same tab), check box for "Disable desktop composition".
*Under "Privilege Level" (same tab), check box for "Run this program as an administrator".
When you start the game, you screen may flash and you'll get a message in your lower right part of your screen indicating that your system is changing the color scheme. This is actually good that you might get this. |
