 Hi.

When i try to start tiberium wars i get the green EA-logo with tiberium but as it fades out the screen turns black and nothing els happens. Ive updated my drivers on both videocard and monitor. The strange thing is that before i got my new monitor i could play tiberium wars, but since i got the new one i just get the black screen, even if i change back to my old monitor...

 Any suggestions on what i can do to solve this?

Try alt+tab switch several times between the applications and maybe it works  - could also be that your firewall is blockiing in the backgrounds and waits for your action to allow or not allow access to the internet for the c&c.exe.  If it is a monitor resolution issue try to reinstall the game.

ok thx guys for tryin to helping me!

 One hell of a funny thing is that when i rightclicked on the "comand & conquer.exe" (or whatever the chortcut is named) and added " +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050" in the target field it worked i actually played the game for about an hour! =). Everything ran smooth and it looked awesome. But when i quitted the game and tried to start it again i was back at zero again. Now i have the same problem as earlier.. 

Cant understand this strange behavior...

Unstoppable_1 : my refreshrate is aldready set to 60hz and the "hide rates that can damage the monitor" (or whatever it says, cant translate it from swedish inte english prop, but i guess u know what i mean) is checked.

Like some other guys said i think its probably trying to play at a resolution your new monitor can't support.

My advice, back up your save games.. Delete the game and everything associated with the game.

Then re-install and see what happens.  

Okey, first id like to thank everyone tryin to help me...

now i have tried to add " -xres 1680 -yres 1050" instead of the old battlefield thing. but it still wont work. this is really getting me pissed..
