Monitor fails when I start FH2 or BF2

[Yustax]

My lcd samsung monitor died and Im now using an old vga monitor until I can buy a new one. But everytimee I start the game, the monitor just turns off, a few seconds pass and image comes back and its not like I ever started the game at all. I have checked my settings, reinstalled the monitor and ati radeon drivers and nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreaciated, Im looking forward FH2 2.4 and I dont want to lose it becaue my monitor is a childish fit.

 yustax, this is an easy one to fix.

 your problem is that your old monitor was on a refresh (probably 60hz) setting that your VGA monitor can't run on.

 just look for your Battlefield profile folder (in like my documents/settings/blablabla) and use notepad to manually change the refresh rate to one that is compatible with your current monitor. I had the same problem a while back myself, you should have no problem.


edit: glad it worked out Yustax, it's a simple fix but easily overlooked

good luck

Thanks a billion times, this was driving me crazy and thanks to you, the game now runs.
