Black screen upon exiting game(1)Category: Technical SupportMay-14-2014 9:03 AM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
From memory this problem has only occoured since patch 2.04 but I can't say if it started directly after that.

Randomly, but approximately 50% of the time when I exit the game from the ingame menu's the screen will go black as the program closes, the windows mouse cursor will appear, but the black screen will not go back to windows.
It appears the underlying programs which may or may not be open are there as the cursor will change from a pointer to a text icon if a word document is open. Or any other respective programs, task manager will appear and the cursor will change to reflect this however no button combination will have an effect. A hard shutdown is the only way to get out of this.

I'm using Windows XP with the latest service patch.

Is this an issue on my end or has it happened before?

Thanks.

Mifkin,

Try booting in selective startup once and playing like that for a little while and then exit and see if it happens again.
