Black screen when running games

[Meadmezzer]

Ok so this is my problem, when ever i try to start a game, any game for the PS2, all i get is a black screen that wont let me advanced any further. after obtaining a save state from a friend of several games that we both have and loading them the game runs fine after loading the save state but still nothing at start up of the games. any help would be much apreacated.

OS: vista ultimate 64 bit
