when i try to play hlaf life 2/black hawk down, my monitor shuts off then a message comes up sayign its out of range and has some numbers. there are also 3 colour bands above it(red, green and blue)

does this mean i need a new monitor if i want to play these games?


my graphics card is a leadtek 7800gt card, a dfi ultra-d mobo and and athlon 64 3700 cpu
 
well i am using just a basic monitor that came with my last computer.

and its on the minimal settings that my card will let me use.

refresh rate - 60mhz

resolution - 800 by 600 (if i go any less, it makes everything **** up on screen)

what gets me is how hl2 and bhd dont play but doom 3 will
 
desktop settings, as i cannot get into either game to change their settings, or is there a way that i can?

thought it would just be the monitor, would have bought a monitor but only had enough for the tower ATM, but i am hoping to get the monitor within a couple months
 
hmmm.. you'd have to edit the settings manually, they might either be in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software)
or in the game directory in a file somewhere, maybe a .inf or .txt file
