if you're playing in full screen and tab out sometimes when you tab back into the game it's just a black screen. Just alt-tab out and in again a second time to make it work.

Here's a helpful hint:
on the Break of Dawn quest at Meridia's temple, make damn sure you kill all the necromancer boss's Shades. Otherwise, you will spend an hour like me trying to kill this jerk only to have him heal at the last second before death.
Turns out one of the shades got stuck behind a pillar and while he was alive, the boss was invincible. And did I mention the boss can more or less one-shot you at level 13?
After an hour and a near controller to screen incident I finally saw the shade, killed him and had the whole ordeal done 2 minutes later.
