Lightroom 5 slideshow shows a black screen

[johngersh]

When I preview or play a slideshow in Lightroom 5 I see a black screen. I've tried it using various settings, images, lengths, and with the show saved or unsaved, all with the same result. In a preview I can see the show advancing through the slides; all remain black.

Sometimes (unpredictably) the screen isn't black, but rather two colors or color washes separated diagonally.

There are no videos in the shows. (A black screen for a slideshow with a video as the first slide is a known issue mentioned in the Lightroom Journal.)

Exporting to pdf works properly. An exported video shows as a black screen.

Ok I just figured what my problem is.  When I had my output "high", blank screen happened.

Thanks MikeB

So .. the problem is actually that Windows 10 and Intel HD3000 graphics on a sandy bridge processor, do not mix?

So anyone who has a combination of Windows 10 + Intel HD3000 integrated graphics + Lightroom will have some problems with some of Lightroom's features?

If we can work that out, why can't Adobe?

April 2020, Lightroom Classic 10.2.  Still a problem. I can get Preview to work, but not Play.

Actually, I just found a solution. I'll post to the main thread.

April 2021 with Lightroom Classic 10.2, I still have this problem.  None of the suggestions in this thread have helped to get the slideshow to Play, though Preview did start working.  However in this thread on photoshop.com I found an idea that has now worked for me: purge the Video Cache and restart Lightroom.  It is the first thing that has worked at all for me.
