VCHolmes Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Make sure that the monitor's video cable is plugged in tightly at both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girish Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Do you have the proper display drivers installed? Btw, do you have a legit copy of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChotaZ Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 done it, still now working, now instead of playing 20/30 minutes my screen shuts off and says input signal out of range after about 10 minutes of turning the game on. Anyone have any other suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChotaZ Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 aw cmon, no one? i was hoping i could get this problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCHolmes Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Perhaps your refresh rate is too high. Control Panel > Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Monitor Check "Hide modes that my monitor cannot display". Select a refresh rate of your choice from the drop-down box now and click on OK.

Bad~Boy#17 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 This maybe a stroke of genius or something stupid to say: Maybe you should raise your refresh rate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad~Boy#17 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Turn your framelimiter on in options... And widescreen off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChotaZ Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 did, still having the same problem, any more solutions BTW, dont know why, my game looks its not finding the USer TRacks i put in the games folder and in My Documents \ GTA Files\User Tracks, is there anyway taht i edit some registry entries in order to make GTa search the musics in a certain folder?

Bad~Boy#17 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 For user tracks go to Options->Audio->User tracks options-> Scan user tracks but for your screen problem, I`m all out of ideas... I`ll think of something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChotaZ Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 i now noticed, GTA San andreas isn't using the My Documents fold to store save files/ingame pictures nor to scan for musics... I now noticed that GTA is saving my game files to the data folder inside the game directory, as for the pictures i took ingame i cant find them in the my documents folder neither in the game folder, so i think thats why he isnt detecting the user tracks :\ Any ideas?

Bad~Boy#17 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 If it saveing in your data folder, then un-install the game, delete the program files/rockstar games folder and the GTA SA use files folder and re-install it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ring_of_Fire Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 ''Input Signal Out Of Range' When that stupid message happens, try the auto adjustment feature on the monitor. Of course, you can go and edit the monitor settings for it and reset the settings to FACTORY DEFAULTS! And, 17-inch monitors support a max of 1280x1024 32bit @ 60-70Hz refresh rate. So please set the resolution in Windows to be the same, as well as in San Andreas' Display Setup. Now turn off widescreen mode and try playing again. Download Patch v1.01 (http://nomorehotcoffee.com/) also. I saw that it had a few monitor resolution bugfixes. Be sure to delete [.set] file after.
