Hi,

That may be because your monitor is not supporting the resolution you are looking for

Screen Resolution.

You may like to visit the website of your monitor and graphics card manufacturers, to check if you have the latest drivers.

Hope it helps

Hi,

A great way to find out lots of info. is with this free program.
On the left hand side of this page, click on the second one down with the little green icon SIW Standalone (English only)

SIW | Download


If you are using a laptop, visit the laptop manufacturers site for driver downloads.

Hope it helps

Hello Lemonzzz,

I believe Smartyeyeball was referring to giving SIW2 a +1 rep point for suggestion a program that he considered invaluable.

You may also need to install the separate monitor driver, and not the graphics card driver, as well if available to help have the correct native resolution to be available to change to.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
