Perhaps the resolution of your monitor cannot display the res the game is trying to operate at?

What about your video card? Can it handle the new game? What game is it?

Sounds like the screen refresh rate has been changed to something, incompatable with the monitor.
Try this: Go into Safe Mode. How to start Windows in Safe Mode Control Panel / Appearance and Themes / Display / Settings tab / Advanced button / Monitor tab Set the Screen refresh rate: to 60. Apply / OK Reboot, and see if that works. -------------------- I love being married.

Hi everyone, sorry about the late response. I tried changing the monitor refresh rate, but that didn't fix it, so i'm not sure what the deal is. It just seems strange since i can play all these new video games that have much higher graphics, but this goofy fishing game made three years ago shuts down my monitor
 LOL Oh well life goes on thanks for the responses. Have a good daySWAS P.S. i'm using a nividia 6800 video card This post has been edited by swas: Oct 24 2006, 02:03 PM -------------------- How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward
