Hi,

I have a ProView LCD 568 monitor. In many gamse recently I've only been
able to play for about a minute or so before my monitor switches to a black
screen saying

VGA MODE NOT SUPPORT
H: 22.6 Hz
V: 35.9 HZ

Now I've been looking this up on the net and I've seen that some other
people have propblems like this and apparantly its to do with LCD's not
being able to show as many resolutions as CRT monitors. So i downloaded
what I believe to be the latest drivers for my monitor however the problem
still continues.

The last game it happende on was Max Payne 2

I have a Radeon 9600 Pro and I'm using windows XP.

If anyone knows how I can fix this it would be brilliant!!!

TIA

seetings like that are probably *below* the range of what your monitor
can display rather than above it;s capabilites

does the game itself have a video settings option?

yeah, I've set them to 800x600x32.

I'm completely stumped as to why this only happens during games....
 
Do the video drivers have refresh rate settings for DirectX?

Some cards/drivers let you specify specific refresh rates for specific
resolutions and colour depths. Maybe your settings got corrupted? You should
be able to reset them in the Advanced Settings screen of the drivers - if
they're there.
 
LCD monitors have ONE preferred resolution. It's stated in the manual for
your monitor. Other selected resolutions cause the problem you saw.
