Hi There,

My monitor gets a black blank SCREEN with "out of range" error message, but only when I play 3 of my games. I can play the trail versions off of some websites, but cannot play the same games off of other websites. I bought the full games which are now causing this problem. I know the easy answer is don't play the games, but if there is a way to fix this I would love to know. When I get the blank screen and the " out of range" message I cannot get to my controlls so I have to try " escape" or Alt, Tab failing that I need to use " Alt,Control, Delete" as this is the only way I can get a picture back.sometimes that doesn't work so I have to switch the computer off from the wall socket which I hate to do. I have re-set the monitors colour and resolution lower, but that didn't help.
Sorry it's long winded
DmouseYour monitor can't cope with the resolution settings that the games are asking of it. DO those games have a configuration program? If so, you may be ABLE to lower the resolution before you play. If not, you'll probably get better results with a newer monitor. Did you check the game specs? Do they require a minimum resolution? DOes your monitor support that resolution?>:(I'm very frustrated. For some reason, I cannot get an rpm package to extract where I tell it to. I keep getting this message:

"Could not open "XFCom_i810-1.2-3.i386.rpm"

Archive type not supported."

I'm running ubuntu linux on a DELL Optiplex GX150. The package I'm trying to open (no matter how or where I DOWNLOAD it from) is the intel 815E video driver. I need it because ubuntu cannot resize my desktop to any lager than 640X480p @60Hz! Please help! I can't see EVERYTHING on screen, and I did this before, even if it is not working now Wampus, please start a new thread in the correct forum (Linux, in this case) rather than hijacking this thread.
