Hi, Advice please............ i have a new monitor packard bell Maestro 242Dx.
I have never had any probs with SH4 but now i have this new monitor running when i try and start the game it will go as far as the first screen (to the end of the progress bar) and then the screen goes blank a message is diplayed 'no signal being received' and then the monitor switches off, so then i have close the computer down and restart.
I have tried everything i can think off and now i am getting very, very, frustrated....or is it angry!!!!!.................any help would be greatly appreciated.

The *no signal being received* isn't anything to do with the game, but the monitor not receiving a signal from the graphics card - usually overheating. Check inside is dust free, check fans run ok. Let us know.

Prolly because the game is still set to a resolution the new monitor can't display.

And don't think you have to restart your computer, just hit ctrl+alt+del.

Erm, have to go by memory, but I think there's a folder for the game in your "Documents" folder. In there there's a main.cfg, which contains a few settings such as resolution. Try setting the proper resolution there manually.

Maybe delete the file; a lot of games generate it automatically when it's not present. Make a backup though, in case it throws an error.

Nhancer does not work with Nvidia drivers past 257 version (which is old in itself) - could some one kindly share how to tweak AA for SH3 for modern cards/drivers?

There's a new tool on th block: nvidia Inspector.

Gets the job done, though it isn't as intuitive.
