Weird computer prob

So I decided I was going to try the new C&C demo in HD.

I go to play it on my lcd tv, and it starts to load up. The the TV screen turns blue and says "NOT SUPPORT" in the top right. I dont know why, because I run movies all the time from my pc to TV, even HD ones.

This is my graphics card

have you tried it on a normal display to see if you can replicate the problem, to see if it is just an issue with the LCD?

turn the resolution down.

is your graphics card in the PC trying to supply it with too high a resolution?

 

[btnhfan 5,000+ posts]

No.

It displays 1280x720 on the tv.

Unless somehow it changes as I load up the game.

Of course it will change the resolution, when using two displays you can det up dual view which changes assigns resolutions for each display respectivly, however when you are using a full screen setting like for games it will try to force the resolution set in the game on both displays regardless if it can display it or not. This doesnt mean the game has settings higher that your tv can display, they may just be 16:9 settings that your tv cant reproduce, so dont think you tv doesnt work as advertised or anything //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. Hook up both monitors at once and adjust the game settings until you find a resolution you can work with on both. IE my tv will handle 1024x768 (and around that in widescreen) but if i run a game at 1600x1200 i can only view it on my monitor because my tv wont support a setting that high.

I set it so it uses the lcd tv as the only monitor. I can never get that dualview thing to look right at all. Thats what I can't understand why it wont work. I make sure I set it to use only one monitor, and change it to the TV.

my money is on demi's answer.

Go into the game and turn the resolution down..

 

[btnhfan 5,000+ posts]

Okay Ill try it out and see if that works.

the game probably is internally set at too high a resolution for your TV.. change the game resolution to something you know for sure your TV will handle.
