Need some help guys,

I Just got a 22" widescreen monitor, so when I go to play CSS it's fine. But when I launch Farcry and C&C3 I dont get any display at all.

I can hear sounds from the game but I get no picture what so ever. I cant even quit the game, I have to restart my comp everytime.

Can anyone help please?
 
Usual cause for something like that would be the game setting a resolution or refresh rate that is outside of the normal operating range of the monitor, which turns off the display to save damage.
 
Ahh I see, is there anyway of setting the resolution or refresh rate outside of the game. Seeing I cant do it in game. : /
 
For C&C I think that the settings are held in a file inside your game profile. Inside your My Documents folder you should see a Command And Conquer folder. If you can find the files/folder linked to your ingame profile then you could edit the settings for the video card. A quick test though would be to deleted that folder (after making a copy elsewhere) and then start the game. It should make a set of new, default profiles which should allow the game to be seen. No idea about Farcry though.
