Title: I just reformatted XP // And a SAMP Problem.
Post by: Paroxysm on May 22, 2008, 02:02:14 pm: And I cant seem to get my Acer AL1916W moniter at its native size of 1440x800, I dont know what to do, it worked right away before I reformatted.

Also when I try to start up SAMP or the single player I just get a black screen..how can I fix this??

What graphics card do you have?

It tells you a lot of details about your computer.

Now go on ATI/AMD site, download proper driver and change settings. This is link http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html (http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html)
