Can you post your settings, system specs, and a few screenshots?

 

[solstar82]

ok my spec first
penitum dual core at 3ghz,4 gb ram and a geforce 8800.i run games like tekken 4 and similar pretty well.

some screens of my configurations in pcsx2 ,and also some screens from the game,the intro,the main menu,and the black screen after i begin to play

Try it with all the speedhacks off.

just tried that..not working.if someone managed to do so,can please tell me the exact configuration you've used?

The settings look fine.
Did you update DirectX? Do you have the latest Nvidia drivers?
Try re-downloading and installing pcsx2.
Edit: You're using an old build. Download 0.9.6 or use an updated svn snapshot

 

[solstar82]

just tried with the newest release...same problem there...

Are you running the game from an iso? Try running it with the original disk in the drive.

 

[solstar82]

that's what i did so far,i used my original dvd.i just finished making an iso with magciiso from my dvd and its the same obnoxious problem

Well, that's a strange problem. Are there scratches on your disk? Try changing your graphics plugin to ZeroGS.

 

[solstar82]

tried with zerogs..same problem.my dvd is not scratched but this point i think that soemthing is wrong with the disc,although it works ok on my ps2

Hmm..that's pretty weird. Can you go to your pcsx2 folder and open the logs folder? Open emulog.txt and post what's written in it.

ok it seems my theory was right.it was something related to starting a new game.iimported an already finished gamesave from gamefaqas,and the game runs fine.i don't knowwhy i'm unable to start a new game

Well, I don't see any errors in that log. Is your memcard file corrupted? You said imported saves worked fine. You could try experimenting with the cpu settings, but other than that, I can't find the source of the problem.
