I am unable to get TDM to run. I installed TDM using The Dark Mod Updater v0.66 into the C:\darkmod directory. When executing the TheDarkMod.exe application, the screen goes black, my monitor indicates that there is a 'HDMI' cable connection and then briefly brings up the monitor menu buttons overlay for a few seconds. After which, the screen is completely black. At this point, neither Control-Alt-Delete nor Alt-Control-Tilde work, the computer is frozen, and the computer requires a hard power down and reboot. A second reinstall of TDM shows the same results and behavior.
I have attached a .txt file of the TDM Update Log Window.
My system configuration is:
ASUS Desktop PC CM6850 Series
Intel Core i7-2600 CPU, 3.4 GHz
8 GB RAM
Windows 10 Home, 64 Bit
NVIDIA GeForce GT 530 (Driver Date:5/17/2017)
6134 MB Total Available Graphics Memory
Any help on getting TDM running would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for the great help! I was able to get it running in windowed mode.
There wasn't an existing darkmod.cfg file, so I created one with the seta r_fullscreen "0" command as the only line in the file. This allowed TDM to run successfully in a small window, from which I was able to adjust the video settings to run in a larger window. The game is now playable and runs great even at a 'Very High' LOD. (And, it is a spectacular and very worthy continuation of the Thief series!)
Prior to getting TDM running in windowed mode, I did not see a darkmod.log file (that doesn't mean there wasn't one). I re-edited the darkmod.cfg file to contain the seta r_fullscreen "1" command, which does still cause the black screen/frozen computer issue if TDM is run normally. Then, I ran the command you posted to this thread and in the 'Debugging TDM systemerrors' online manual: thedarkmod.exe +gfxinfo +condump mylog.txt +quit. The resulting file, pbhallamlog.txt is attached to this reply.
Any thoughts on how to get TDM running in fullscreen mode?
Thanks again!
