So I installed State of Emergency recently and when I start the game I got a black screen. When I played the console versions the intro and credits arent black, so any solutions? Should I install codecs or such?

Check that you actually have the default Windows system codecs installed (meaning: check you have Windows Media Player on your system) and make sure to uninstall all other codecs.

Uninstall any codecs and codec packs you have installed (except Indeo since it's included with the game) and follow this:

ffdshow and LAV filters are names of popular codecs you might need to uninstall.

So I followed your advice and it was the LAV codecs that caused the black screen, thanks for the advice though.
