Resolution 1024 X 768 And Above Help

Asterisk

<div class="IPBDescription">Insane green flashing.</div> I recently tried to ns at a resolution higher that 1024 x 760. in opengl mode. i uped it to the next resolution level (1280,1024 i think.) i went to play a game and the game started Flashing green, it hurt my eyes so i shut it off. when i switched it back to the previous resolution everything worked ok but all the menus were shifted far to the leftl. well everything worked after i reinstalled the video drivers again. but i was wondering why i cant run at higher resolutions. and are there any ways around it. here are my system specs.

I was going to say maybe your monitor can't support that high a resolution, but according to that printout, it can. Sorry man <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
