I just bought the humble indie bundle pack and downloaded world of goo. I installed it and then proceeded to try to play it and my computer blackscreened (ctrl alt del and other key combos were unresponsive)

I tried again and again to play by running in different compatibility modes and even changing the resolution in the config. nothing is working.

I have windows 7 64bit

I am having the same problem.  It starts, lists a bunch of things that it's doing... then the screen goes black.  I have tried modifying the settings in the config.txt file, running in various compatibility modes, enabled and disabled desktop compression, running in full screen and window mode, etc.

I am running a single monitor (laptop) which is set for only the LCD (no external output).  Windows 7 (64 bit)

Mysterious... I rebooted a couple of times and suddenly it works.  Bizarre.  *crosses fingers*

I am not experiencing any "lists", it just black screens
