monitor switches on/off when starting any game!
This is a discussion about monitor switches on/off when starting any game! in the Windows Games category; This is very anoying. There must be a way to prevent win2k/xp from turning the monitor off then back on when changing vid modes for games. I dont think its good for my monitor. Is there perhaps a registry option somewhere that can change this, or is it the display drivers? Thanks for any help.

I fixed it myself, thanks for all of the help.
Perhaps you would care to share with us exactly how you fixed it so that others who have the same problem can gain from your infinite wisdom?
OP
All I did was change my res from 1280 x 1024 to 1024 x 768 and I also increased the color from 16bit to 32bit. One or both of these changes fixed it. It nolonger switches on and off when I run any game.
