So i installed it and loaded game, fine. I changed resolution to 1600x1200 and monitor went blank. My desktop resolution at time was 1050x740, something like that. So when screen went blank i went back into desktop and changed reso to 1600... so the game would be ok. The blank screen is still there or its like the monitor goes into standby mode or something, u know how monitor does that when u change to resolution for a game and your not in that resoultion already and monitor flicks off till u have set it up in desktop.

So, i have my reso in desktop at 1600 and when i load game up my monitor goes blank or kinda like in stanby mode. I dont get it. I quit the game, load it up again and same thing.

What can i do, If someone can tell me way to reset the resolutinon to default i can try again. So i have quit game multiple times and loaded again to try and get round but my screen just goes off at start.

Can anyone help me please. This is quite odd i find.

n.b-i even uninstalled and guess what, its like its kept the same resolutioin change i did in previous installation.

The game was fine then when i changed it to 1600 is when it went

wierd. I know bout computers and this is just frustrating.

Go to your 'C:\Documents and Settings\Yourname\My Documents\ArmA' folder and rename or delete your ArmA.cfg file.

I recommend just renaming it.

Start the game and the cfg file should be recreated from scratch.

How bout that, i tried 1600 reso again and same thing happens, weird isnt it. maybe with patches this will solve itself. So i will try a lower res in game even though i can have 1600 in dekstop. Lets c how this game is. Im up fpr playing this game ;)

lol, k. my last post i think.

Ok, i saw that the refresh rate was on 75hz and thats what made my screen go blank. i dont know my monitor refresh rate actually thoughi dont think it can handle 75hz on big resolution. i changed it to 60hz then did 1600 reso and is fine, i switched it to 70hz and ok still. Ok, lets c what this game is all about ;). I hope i can do mouse wheel stuff with keys on board as my wheel is broken.
