acer AL1916W LCD MONITOR "INPUT NOT SUPPORTED"

[golden5673]

I have just bought an acer AL1916W lcd monitor and everytime I go to play a game I get the message input not supported floating around my screen. I have an nvidia geforce 6200le graphics card and can't figure out what I need to do to get this sorted. any help would be great.

What game/s does this happen with? I would imagine that you need to change a setting within the game to change the resolution that the game uses. Some games have a seperate configuration program that you can run to do this.

Yes, the lcd monitors have rather tight specs requirements. If they're not met, just nothing displays. The games may try to run at either a too high resolution, or at vertical sync frequencies that the LCD does not support. As kestrel1 says, most games can have their resolution set somewhere in the setup parameters. Try to set the game at its lowest setting, then move it up.

Kinnz: trying going into safe mode & see if you can make changes in there.
