Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince PC Performance Issues

[ThatGreatDane]

I have played this game on other PC's, but when I installed it on mine, I found that on startup, there is only audio with a black screen (no video/display). My drivers are up to date, and I have enough disk space and RAM available on my PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                                                                                                     Thanks!

Yeah all of my stuff is brand new and WAAAY above those requirements. I've made sure of it. Any other suggestions like changing the settings on my PC?

Let's see a copy of your DxDiag report.

HI!
I have the original disc, but when I installed the game and DoubleClicket it, an error window appears saying that that disc I'm using is wrong!
Please Help!

I recently reinstalled my harry potter and the half blood prince game on my windows 8 pc, but every time i start the game the screen goes black. 

I can hear the sounds and I hear that the keys are working as well. An older harry potter game (the goblet of fire) does work on the same pc, so i doubt that the age of the game is the problem on my computer. 

I've played the same game (and disc) before on a windows XP computer and it worked fine. 

Does somebody know how to get the screen going?

Hi everyone. Not sure how many people play this game anymore but it is made by EA so yeah. It is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince video game. Does anyone know how to get the persistent dueling badge? Like do you have to lose a full duel or only one round or what? thanks
