Why won't it work?

Dynsk · 04-08-2007, 10:00 PM

Hey there, I just bought a new 20.1" LG Panel moniter, it's replacing my old 19" CRT Moniter.

After building, and connecting my new moniter up, and setting the resolution too
1240x768 I decided too see how Battlefield2142 looked. I clicked the battlefield icon, I got the first loading page, then a black screen. The black screeen then dissapeared, and it brought me too my desktop. I pressed cntr alt delete too see if it was somehow still running in the background, it wasn't. I'v tried playing around with different resolutions, no luck.

What can I do? Any suggestions are welcome!@#!@

Thanks, ~Rich

What are the specs of your computer?

Dynsk · 04-08-2007, 10:26 PM

I have a M2n-E (asus) AM2 socket motherboard, with a AMD 64 3800+. I have 2 gb of DDr2 667 ram (kingston). For a video card I got a E-Geforce 7950 GT KO (PCI-E 512mb). I'm running Windows XP, anything I miss here?

Hope you can help :s

after 4 and a half hours of frustration I finally got it too work.

My previous account's video configuration with my old moniter was at 85 hertz refresh rate. My new moniter's max refresh is 75. Reinstalling the game wouldn't have done anything because the configurations are saved on the account. I had to rehook my old CRT moniter back in and change the config, then reinstall my new moniter and drivers.

What a releaf

That's good to hear Dynsk. Gotta watch those refresh rates. Usually flat panels are lower, I know mine was.

Cøyøte · 04-16-2007, 05:07 PM

Good to hear you got it working,... Is that typical for LCD monitors? Do they have a 'set' refresh rate on them?
Ive got a 21" Nokia CRT Ive been loathe to part with, it served me well,... But I know Im going to have to go with LCD soon. So far Ive been looking for lowered response times, I know theyre generally optimized for 1280*1020,.. Is the refresh rate the same sort of thing? Can/should/would I even need to adjust refresh rate on the monitor?

grim reaper · 04-16-2007, 06:13 PM

Set it to 60hz and ignore. It really isn't relevant at all on LCDs due to the differing technology.

Dynsk · 04-24-2007, 09:20 PM

I don't believe an lcd panel screen has a refresh rate, thats typical only in CRT screens. Windows fault >:-l

Correct, the image isn't refreshed a certain amount of times a second as only the parts that change are redrawn.

Saying that the term redrawn isn't strictly accurate as there is no electron gun drawing the picture. But still.

AHA, thank you. That explains far more than anything Ive found on manufacturers websites..

This problem's been solved dude, quit reviving dead threads. And not everyone just has the money to splurge to update anyways.

Asides from your post being entirely wrong stop bumping up these dead threads with needless comments. Consider this a warning.
