Monitor Frequency problem.

Ah right I getcha, when you run the game all goes black and can't get out unless you reboot! Ok, I'm not sure of this XIII Demo, is this something for SH4? Also what monitor are you running?

I may not be able to help but others will probably like to know.

Its a dell E773c CRT monitor. And actually SH4 works fine with my monitor. Its just the XIII demo.

What resolution are you running the XIII demo at and what refresh rates does the monitor allow at that resolution?

Thats the thing I dont know which resolution its running at.

@thomen: Its the game that the two part movies are based off of. I saw part of the movie last night and realized I had totally forgoten about the game.

Edit: But due to it being from 2003. I'd assume its running at 800x600 by default.
Is there any way to check which refresh rates my monitor runs at?

No one knows what to do? I really loved this game and want to get it working before I waste 10 dollars and buy the real version. Of course finding help online for this game is hard due to the fact its old, and googleing XIII brings up alot of stuff.

Did you check for an .ini or .cfg file for the game? There might be listed what resolution and frequency it uses.

I am not sure, but it sounds like its a game to the 2 part TV movie that ran the last 2 sundays.
