i've tried more versions but the problem is same. i do not want to change graphic card because only the archicad 3d window is black and all other 3d application work perfectly with opengl and directx..

You can try installing earlier versions of the graphics card driver until you find one that works.
It is possible to find earlier versions.

We've had the same problem in Windows Vista. The solution was:

Activate XP-Compatibility for Launching ArchiCad

Right Mouesclick on archicad.exe -> Compatibility-> WindowsXP(ServicePack2)
