Run the setup of the tomb4 executable. If it's not present, do the following:

Create a shortcut of the tomb4.exe, then open the properties of this newly created shortcut. At the end of the target/address field, add a space, then type -setup after the quote, so that it reads something like: "C:\Games\TR4\Tomb4.exe" -setup

Now run the shortcut & the setup menu should appear. If a border fix is still required, consult the following link.

The same should apply to your TR2 issue as well.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I had the same problem and I fixed it a bit differently so maybe it would help someone else.

So as the op, I bought TR4 on steam and when I run it, there is a black screen and nothing happens.

I had to put the game as an "exception" on my anti-virus so it won't mess up with the game, and then I have to launch the game in windowed mod to make it work. Without all this it wouldn't start.

It's weird because TR3 was working perfectly fine on steam...
