I've been doing research into black ss for the clan i was with (aa3), (resigned saturday) still researching as when i did my own pbss i was returning black ss. Have tried all i've found to no avail and posting possible fixes on the website, that have helped some but not others, however, come across this yesterday http://clanbase.ggl.com/doc.php?did=271 that suggests aero in vista / 7 causes black ss, and some people run an aero programme in xp. I havent tried it yet to see if it works. Also come across a hack site (which i didnt bookmark) which explains how to create black ss in xp using an aero programme and windows paint. Whish i bookmarked now for reading here. Hope this helps.
cheers
Joe
