August 28, 200421 yr yeah thats right, i have YET ANOTHER PROBLEM! :xI went to play FA and i got a black screen, i could hear everything in the background, but the screen was black. So i restarted my comp. Upon restarting the comp had to do the windows virus scan, ok, thats great. The problem is...after the virus scan completes, i can hear everything startup -i can even hear people IMing me on AIM- but the screen never changes from the virus check. Right now im on my moms computer and i cant figure out how to fix this problem.
August 28, 200421 yr Author how would i go about getting into safe mode.....? It doesnt ask me at startup...and my refresh rate is on 60 because my monitor is a P.O.S.
August 28, 200421 yr im pretty sure the problem is that your monitor doesnt support the refresh rate that your set at.. just ebcause your video card does doesnt mean your monitor will.. so if you cant figure out how to get into safe mode and change it.. you can always hook up a better monitor to it if you have a better one.. if not.. heh well.. safe mode
August 28, 200421 yr Author this monitor has worked for months on the same rate, i havent changed a thing.i think its time to reformat
August 29, 200421 yr when jimmy makes an unconstructive coment, jimmies unconstructive comment gets a deletion, and jimmy gets a little closer to the end of the plank he is walking....
August 29, 200421 yr lol, im officially a noob. i'll read through this and try again. exactly right at the point when the BIOS disapears press f8 before windows xp comes up
August 29, 200421 yr Author yes, bang. bang indeed.I was watching USC vs Virginia Tech, so i havent tried yet. But i'll try it before i go to sleep.PS, once im in Safe Mode, what exactly should i do...?
August 29, 200421 yr when jimmy makes an unconstructive coment, jimmies unconstructive comment gets a deletion, and jimmy gets a little closer to the end of the plank he is walking.... when shotty doesnt get his way, he has to abuse the admin to remove the only problem to him.
August 29, 200421 yr Author how bout you dont spam my thread.i successfully got into safe mode, then when i restarted i had the same problem.WHAT SHOULD I DO IN SAFE MODE!?!
August 29, 200421 yr change your refresh rate to somethjing lower thatn what it isif its at 60...... well i think 60 is standard isnt it?it should work at 60.i had a monitor that acted this way ...... guess where it ended up...in the trash can.HAHAHA
August 29, 200421 yr Author its on 60, and the monitor has worked fine for months. i guess i'll try a new one today, but the last time i checked, we didnt have any other working monitors :/
August 29, 200421 yr yes same thing happened to me... try a different monitor and then go in game and change the resolution to the standard.... then use your monitor and see if it works...-G
