Problems with TV screen as monitor.

Hey guys, first of all, I'm sorry if this is the wrong section for this, if it is go ahead and move it or delete it or whatever.

Now, for the past couple years I've been using a Daenyx LCD TV as my computer monitor and it's worked quite well for me, but now that I've upgrade to Windows 7 from XP I've had problems with some of my games (Necrovision and Mirror's Edge, so far.) As soon as I start the games, my screen goes to "No Signal", which it only usually does when I have the screen on but not my computer or PS3. I can still hear all the audio and if I move my mouse around I can hear it scroll over the options on the main menu. With Necrovision, I usually get stuck like this but with Mirror's Edge I can get back to my desktop if I mash the windows key a bit. All my other games work flawlessly.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The game is most likely launching in an unsupported resolution or refresh rate. You might try adjusting this manually via the text config files.

For example.. with Mirror's Edge, try this:

1) Go to My Documents->EA Games->Mirror's Edge->TdGame->Config

2) Look for "TdEngine.ini" and open it with Notepad

3) Search for "ResX=" and "ResY="

4) Change the values to correspond to the resolution of your TV. For example, if your TV is 1280x720 (720p), make the lines read "ResX=1280" and "ResY=720"

5) Save. Launch the game and see if it works now.

Well, that did make some progress but maybe in the wrong direction. I found a file called DefaultEngine.ini and did as you said. Now when I run the game it tells me that the file DefaultEngine.ini is corrupt and to reinstall my game. I have the Steam version of the game, if that makes any difference.boshlonavish

That's the wrong one..it isn't supposed to be in the game folder itself. I wouldn't mess with anything in there.

You want "TdEngine.ini" ..I also have the Steam version and it's in the directory structure pointed out above: C:\Users\(User Name)\My Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Config\TdEngine.ini

By the way, you can simply delete that corrupt DefaultEngine.ini and Steam should synchronize, eliminating the need to reinstall.

Maybe you could post this in the hardware forum where it belongs......
