Black screen 0.7.5

Recently purchased the game and have a black screen instead of graphics in game. Black screen with a lonely white minimap frame in the lower right corner. Minimap is black too. I can hear game sounds and see some white text when cursor accidentaly hovers coal or a tree.

Also, I've got only white text above gray "gear" background in the main menu, without any buttons, hover effects, etc.

Can anyone help me?

Win7 64 Ultimate, DirectX 9.0c, XNA 4.0, .NET 4.5 installed.

Edit: that was not minimap, but weapon, as I realized

I was not able to search how much memory the card have, but I guess not much.
Could you try to put the low graphics mode on?
Options->graphics->low graphics->restart factorio.

Setting to low graphics didn't help at all. Attached radeon info.

For me this looks a bit like that the card isn't working and using internal graphics instead. Just an idea.

Hello, are you still around?

We updated allegro that solved some of the problems in the past, so this might be working correctly already, I'm moving it to pending, if you can test it in (0.10.8 or 0.10.9 that will be released soon, let me know if it persists)
