I recently reinstalled windows on my machine. Now when I try to play games (delta force land warrior, and knights of the old republic 2) my screen goes black and says "input not supported". The games start up fine and let me go through the whole, get the game set up, thing. But when I go to play it dies.

I know it's not a hardware issuse because delta force used to work just fine. (Just got the star wars one). Also, when I go to start D.F. it pops up a little window that says I don't have the recomended 140 mb of virtual memory. I went and check and I have like 1.5 gigs of virtual memory.

Any ideas on what I can do?

I have made sure my drivers are uptodate, I reinstalled directx9.(something), and just ran a sfc/scannow in the comand propt.

Any help would be great.

HI peanutzombie,

if you are able to browse in the game's menu go to the video options, and lower the game's resolution (1024 x 768 or 800 x 600) and try the game again

 

[peanutzombie]

I have gone through every graphics setting the game has. They all have the same issue.

 

[RockmasteR]

some games have an option to play them in a window, try that (also you can try to press Alt + Enter)
now the issue could be from the video card and the monitor
first what is your Monitor Brand and model
also please provide us with the full Brand name of your Lenevo PC (Brand and Model Number)

I am pretty certain KOTOR 2 would have to be played in windows xp compatability mode since its a 5/6 year old game

Screen is a Acer model G215H.

Lenovo ThinkCentre. I don't know who to find the computer modle #

 

[greenbrucelee]

windows 7 has an inbuilt compatabilty program for games and applications designed to run on xp it has nothing to do with the monitor or the computer Make older programs run in this version of Windows

 

[peanutzombie]

I'm running EX, not 7.

After reinstalling XP did you also install the motherboard chipset drivers and video drivers?

 

[peanutzombie]

I think so?

 

[Wrench97]

Try using the Intel Driver update utility to make sure they are the latest> Intel® Driver Update Utility

 

[peanutzombie]

IT says they are up to date.

 

[Wrench97]

Are you positive you are using the integrated Intel graphics and don't have a video card installed?

 

[peanutzombie]

Yes. Positive.

 

[Wrench97]

Did you try running Delta Force in Windowed mode?

 

[peanutzombie]

I don't know how to do that. However, before I re-installed, I just ran it how ever it came.

 

[Wrench97]

Try hitting Alt+Enter when the game launches.

Input not supported is a message from the monitor meaning the PC is outputting a resolution not supported by the monitor.

Did you install the monitor drivers? > Acer Support: Downloads & Support Documents - Monitor / G Series / G215H

 

[peanutzombie]

Alt + Enter did nothing.

I followed that link and downloaded it. It gave me a few things I can't open, and a text document with nothing useful in it.
