Hallo friends,
Please tell me whether you know how to solve this problem.
After installing a game like Battlefield or Airport Tycoon, I couldn't play it. When I run it, a dark screen appears and a message saying Out Of Range - 53.6hz/85hz but I can hear the title music of the game, and can also hear the sounds that come while moving the mouse over the game menu tabs.
for Battlefield it said> Out Of Range - 53.6hz/85hz
for airport tycooon it said> Out Of Range - 172.0hz/199hz
What does it mean?
please help.

Nvidia Geforce 7300LE PCI Express 256mb. Analogue Sony SDM series 1280 X 1024 resolution 17" LCD monitor. Core2Duo 6600. 1GB ram. Intel 965WH media series motherboard.

see you, sincerely Ketan.
 
From the desktop, open the nVidia control panel. Go to screen resolutions and refresh rates and open that subwindow. Insure that the resolution is set correctly for your monitor (i.e. the same as your monitors native resolution 1280 x 1024 32 bit color). There should also be a window showing refresh rates. Depending on what version of Forceware drivers you are running, there may be below it a box that says show only refresh rates this monitor supports (make sure its checked). If there is not a box, don't worry, the latest versions of Forceware just display the supported resolutions by default. Select the highest refresh rate listed. Click apply. Now try.
 
Hallo Missile Maker thanks,
Yes there is no option "show only refreshrates that monitor supports".
Yes I have set the resolution to monitor native resolution. And the refresh rate does not allow me more than 75mhz. Right now it is 75. I tried 60 also.
What problem is my Device Manager shows 'Default Monitor' driver. And I cannot update it to my Sony SDM E76A. When I go to update it through that Device manager and guide it to the folder where the Sony drivers are kept, it says "Cannot find any better match for the hardware than the existing default driver."

:(
then? :(
see you. Ketan.
 
Your games are launching at too high of a refresh rate(85hz). Find an INI file for the game and change the refresh to 65 or 75hz
