Hi everyone, I built my new computer three weeks ago and I have Vista Ultimate 32. Everything was going fine until today when I decided to install the game enemy territory quake wars.
I installed it and when I went into the game and tried to change my video settings it would only let me change to 4:3 resolutions even though I have a wide screen 22 inch monitor. So I pick 1024x768 and play the game. When I am done I exit and go back to my Vista desktop only to see that now my whole desktop is in 1024x768 as well.
I go to display settings to change it back to 1400x900 (or whatever that is) like I had it on before I installed this game. I then see that that option is no longer available. Now the highest I can choose is 1024x768 in the display settings. I'm like wtf?
So I reboot thinking that might solve it, only it just got worse. Now the computer starts up fine, I have video and everything as the bios loads, right up through the Windows Vista loading screen where the green bar is filling up. I can see that, but as soon as I hear the "ding ding" of Vista starting up to the password entry screen, my monitor now says "no input signal" and everything goes black.
I tried safe mode and safe mode with networking, they both boot fine and I have video signal in them.
When in safe mode w/ networking I installed my nvidia drivers again but that didn't fix it.
Computer is:
asus p5k mobo
e6750 2.6ghz
8800 gts superclocked evga
320gb seagate hd
2gb corsair mem
What is going on here? Thanks for any help!
