Hey everyone I recently purchased a dvi cable from newegg for my Sceptre x20wg NAGA (Great display btw)

The issue I am having is that I play BF2142 fairly often and before I purchased the DVI cable, played on the VGA cable that came with the monitor perfectly fine. When I hooked up the DVI cable the game wouldn't start and would crash to the desktop after a brief black screen (which normally would follow with the intro vids)

Naturally I command line force BF2142 to play in widescreen (1280x800 16:10 )with a bit cut off the top and bottom but it beats playing with a stretched image IMO.

So is this a DVI cable issue or the game? because otherwise the cable does sharpen the image a little bit and doesn't seem to have any issues with normal windows and dvd viewing operations

NOTE: I have and am currently back to using the VGA cable and playing BF2142 with the widescreen settings with absolutely no problems.

Any help would be appreciated thx!

hmm wrong forum can this be moved to the display forum sorry!
 
on dvi i think its maxed to 60hz so you should check the refresh rate.
 
I had to reinstalll video drivers after getting my widescreen monitor coming from a vga crt or else games wouldn't start and scrolling in webpages was choppy.
 
yea it's at 60hz and as to video card drivers i have the latest forceware forgot what version so you suggest reinstalling that?

also when i bought the monitor i got a geforce 7800gs and i had the monitor in before i installed the new video card
 
reinstalling video drivers wont do anything, once you restart the computer after plugging the monitor in it should set it self up.
