Ok so what the hell is going on?

When i boot bf2 it says in the center of the screen 'unknown mode' which is annoying me and it stays on through game play, now it does the same on Madden 07 but that changes eventually and allows me to play without the 'unknown mode' in the center.

Now i dont have a clue what the hell is causing it and it never used to do it before... does anyone know why it may be doing this?

Sounds like a monitor issue to me, maybe it can't handle the resolution that is set from within the games?

i have had the screen 2-3 years and its had no issues sept this and another which is posted in the hardware section.

Can you change the refresh rate at all?

Mine can have 60hz AND 75hz. Not sure if this will be of any help, try changing it maybe.

what does that do? i can change it to the following...

60, 70, 72 and 75 and its at 75 atm...

It actually dosnt have a model code just a name 'Vibrant'

Ive had it a good 2-3 years.

I havnt changed anything, the only thing i have changed is the dual screens as i sometimes have my pc running through my tv, when i watch movies etc...

James07 · 22 Dec 2006 at 10:11

I dont have any more i can test with, only a crapy CRT and its too much trouble to bing up, plus it dosnt always happen ony randomly, i doubt its a gfx issue...

It does it whether both screens are plugged in or not...
