Count D'Ten

You were right! I just hadn't waited long enough for the 3D test to cycle to something it could read, (and then couldn't figure out was I was seeing until the second go round -- but why admit I'm an idiot?). Short story,I finally FULLY understood and followed your advice. Not only does it work, but it looks GREAT! (Which means I can see myself losing in much greater detail than ever before). 8^)

Hi Junk(?), nothing that rich. Both the monitor and the new card have standard analog connections. Your preference idea has me thinking, perhaps I should try to remove and reintstall the game. I can live without the 2 GB's of lovingly selected mods (I'm too lazy to back anything that big up). Hopefully it won't dump the web scenarios....

Good guess as to circumstances. But deleting the preference file didn't help. Thank you for trying. --jimk

Screen blanks, music plays, and I get a "Cannot Display This Video Mode" message whenever I try to play CMBB or CMAK on the Dell 17" LCD monitor. (Dell E173FP) Tried upgrading my old 3dfx graphics card to a nVidia FX5500 so that I could use newer drivers. Same result. Trying to contact Dell. Has anyone had similar problems? Has anyone solved them? thanks, jimk
