odd thing happened after my 163 died
« on: February 23, 2011, 06:12:31 AM »
<S> All
Yesterday, I got killed in a 163 (not the odd part). as plane crashed, I got "ah exe has stopped working".
When I got to desktop, I saw resolution was different. Now I can't get system to go beyond 1024x 768.
Default to 'Native VGA resolution", That's the odd part.

After trying several things, I got it fixed.
Went back to older drivers- no fix.
Pulled apart case, switched vid cards around (SLI).
Changed vga plug to monitor- works now, weird stuff.
But had to reinstall AH- "Initialization failed"
Something got corrupted either with patch yesterday, or who knows.

I lost 2 163's to enemy action yesterday and didn't experience any such problems.

That is my report.
See Rule #4
