The screen isn't actually black, it just goes flickering. The easiest way to set the keys and stuff is to run game in soft.ren(choose in display setup) with low resolution.
To get rid of the problem I used the advise once posted on forums.planetblood:
Go into the your Blood 2 folder and click on the file called autoexec.cfg it will be a notepad file go into it and type anywhere on the left handside "MaxFps" "30"
Now if you don't wana type it in everytime you play blood 2 also do the same to the defaults file in the folder
now click on blood 2 and you know that box comes up with different options click on Advanced and tick these options
Disable directX 6 commands
Enable optimized Surfaces
Enable poly gap fixing (slower)
Enable triple buffering
and tick Always specify these command-line parameters just to be on the safe side but don't type anything in the command-Line box
Now turn on blood 2 and bring up the console by pressing ' after about a maximum of 5 seconds or more the screen should flash turn the console off and the menu doesn't flicker and blood 2 will be absoutely fine you have to do this everytime when you launch blood 2 you don't have to do it when you go on the next level i mean turning on the console but it's only for 2 seconds
This worked just fine with me.

But i know lots of people who just gave up on playing B2 because of that. And the fact that Atari doesn't acknowledge Blood, so there's no tech support.

now now, don't blame nVidia, it was Microsoft's DirectX screw up.
OK, maybe, but it caused problems only on various kinds of GeForce cards. I've never had this problem on any Radeon by ATI or even on my old TNT2 ultra (nvidia).

This is not true. I myself have had problems using a TNT1 until I had discovered how to prevent the bonus effect™.

I had the same problem, changed to a ati card => problem gone.
well i had some issues with that before, but its just tto wait a few minutes and its all fine and dandy again ^^ i even got the Expansion for blood 2 =D and its REALLY confusing and not so verry good planned either
And most people that have this problem runs GeForce cards, so i just blame Nvidia.
