icon Video mode not supported (0)  
I used to be able to play drod architecht's edition, but now the monitor tells me "video mode not supported". I downloaded the rooted hold demo, the same thing happens with it. I've tried changing to 16 bit 600x800, the lowest my monitor goes.

Can anyone help?

Wait, are you having trouble with DROD:AE or DROD:JtRH?

DROD:JtRH will only work at 1024x768 or higher resolutions. It will not work on 800x600.

Actually, I recently got a colleague into DROD and he originally downloaded AE. This won't display either so might be the same issue. JtRH works fine however.

It's a Dell laptop. I can get the specs if needed tomorrow when I get to work.

In JtRH, try pressing F10 after you get the video mode error. That'll switch it out of full-screen and back into windowed mode, and you should get your screen back.

I haven't heard of any monitors that doesn't support 640x480 (you can't set the Windows XP desktop to that resolution, but games should still be able to use it). Are there ? Anyway, it could be that DROD attempts to set a refresh rate that's not supported by your monitor. That sort of thing shouldn't happen with working drivers, so I'd recommend installing or updating your graphics card and monitor drivers if you haven't already.

I've heard of them, but they're few and far between. Windows natively runs in 640x480 - it would be impossible to use Safe Mode or the install disc if they weren't supported (I've seen this problem. It's not happy.)

Ask Banjooie. According to the thread "How Banj Ended Up on Linux" (which you've replied to), her monitor doesn't support that resolution. At least not natively.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Banj is a girl. At least that's what her Deviantart page suggested.

I wasn't going to say anything until someone else did, so Stefan and I can get egg on our face together.

What I find most odd is that I swear someone has brought it up before.

I think its safe to say that if Banj does check this thread he/she will be either extreamly offended or highly pleased, and probably very amused.

Oh.. Er. Right. I knew I was missing something :blush

As for Banjooie, I suggest we call it 'it' until further notice.

Ever since Banj linked to the Deviantart page, I've been avoiding using personal pronouns that imply gender.

No, seriously, go back and look. I'll give you a cookie if you do.

Also: here's Banj's DA account: http://thalamasa.deviantart.com/

I was wondering why the hell nobody said a word about that.

I will neither confirm or deny any statement regarding my gender.

However, I will say this: I lol'd.

On the one hand, I find it hard to believe that Banjooie is a girl. In fact, I don't. On the other hand, I don't put anything past him/her/it. However, if Banjooie is female, referring to herself as male, over and above coming across very much male, would be really odd. Here's a quote:

Whilst I refuse to be drawn into this debate, I think that this livejournal will be a very interesting read, exp. the first post and this post.

As far as I remember, Banjooie is that girl who walks around... stuff and sings really loudly and then she jumps on other stuff and the rolls down the thing and then she's actually a bloke

*but* also a girl. She dances a lot and then cries about mice. That sort of thing.

And then she denies being a girl which may be why you're not sure but I know she knows that everyone actually knows that only I know he's a girl.

I could be wrong... Had a late night.

Not with her.

Hmm, that Livejournal link explains so very much.

Well, Banj refers to himself as male when pressed, so confusion settled, I guess (being aware that everything exists on the Internet (and yes, that statement is designed to be both ambiguous and extremely suggestive, why thank you, you're too kind)), but then also refers to himself as a forum troll so this could all be an elaborate ploy to surprise us at DRODCon '08. Or the DA link could be inaccurate (being female gets you more cred there, I'd guess).

And now I'm spending all my time coming up with increasingly unlikely scenarios for why you'd want to avoid personal pronouns. Perhaps Banj was training at cursed hot springs in the heart of China and fell in and now transforms between a dashing young man and a buxom redhead with the application of warm or cold water? Perhaps Banj also read that research I remember seeing which suggests that gender is defined by many characterists - hormonal makeup, bone structure, and so on - so no-one is completely male or female, and decide to internalise this new piece of information? Perhaps Banj likes to stir up this argument in as many forums as possible?

Okay, that last one looks increasingly likely, but as the kids these days say, 'whatevs'.

What, are you still using punchcards or something? V2.0 has been obsoleted a long while ago. We're now up to revision 3.0. Please upgrade your world as soon as possible, on pains of being shunned by the Inquisition.

I really haven't noticed a difference. Sure there's AJAX and XHTML, but both of those were just extensions of old technology (Using Javascript to send a request to the PHP server and making HTML more XML-compliant respectively). On the whole, the InterEtherCaravelWebNet hasn't changed.

You guys did it /all by yourselves/, don't start getting all up in my grill about it.

Besides, I wasn't aware I was 'pressed' at any given point in time.

Edit: Wh'thdh. How is it when I MADE that livejournal, nobody noticed it, but like once EVERY YEAR SINCE there's a controversy about it.
