Black screen; the game is unplayable (Games : Megabyte Punch : Forum : Errors/bugs : Black screen; the game is unplayable) Locked

I used to be able to play this game without any problems, but I've recently upgraded my computer - the hardware all-around, the OS to windows 7. My monitor is still the same - a widescreen TV I had no problems playing the game on, on windows XP, on a much older, worse computer than my current one.

After deleting some regedit values, (The ones recommended in this thread: Indiedb.com ), and starting the game for the 1st time after doing so, the game goes fullscreen and the Unity screen will appear once. (After the 1st time loading the game after deleting some regedit values, the Unity screen never appears again.) After this point, there's nothing but a solid black screen for about 5 seconds, before red text appears at the bottom of my screen saying:

Out of Range.
Please Change Your PC Input Signal Resolution.

I've changed my screen resolution to 800 x 600, 1366 x 768 and literally every other option in-between, such as all the 1280 x * resolutions. Not a single one of them work; they all result in the same glitch. The only way for me to close megabyte punch once that text comes up is to alt+f4.

What can be done to fix this?

Edit: Solved it. If you're having the same problem, just do the following.

1: Go to start, run, regedit
2: Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Reptile\Megabyte Punch
3: Check out these 2 values: Puu.sh resHeight_h(a bunch of numbers) and resWidth_h(a bunch of numbers)
4: I first double clicked resHeight. It came up with this: Puu.sh It was originally 600; I changed it to 768.
5: I then double clicked resWidth. It came up with this: Puu.sh It was originally 800; I changed it to 1024.
6: After changing both of those and clicking "OK" each time, close regedit and try starting the game normally. It should work for you now.

I hope this helped!
