Random "Input Not Supported" error

[mohammedarhum]

I don't know how to approach this problem.

Happening for quite a while now ( )

 

The problem is that is now I use a laptop for apparently all tasks now. (I will upgrade the PC later, exams for now) So, I thought to use the monitor previously for the PC

So I did just that and it works fine but some games refuse to run Full Screen. (NFS MW 12,for ex.) and as for the other games, (like CSGO) it refuses to run at specific resolutions (take 1280x960, for ex.)  with an error "Input Not Supported" for all issues

• For games like NFS, I may have to reduce resolution (not sure, just assuming)
• My laptop doesn't have a VGA port, I use HDMI to VGA adapter (old monitor)
• both laptop and monitor have native resolution 1366x768 @ 60Hz (monitor port is only VGA)
• display adapters include HD 620 and 940MX

Thank you in advance, looking forward to your help.

If your monitor is a 1366x768, both those numbers are maximums, so you could not go higher (ex: 1280x960 is too high on the vertical resolution).

 

You need to keep both numbers at or below 1366 & 768

 

Look up your monitor online, find the manual.  It will have a list of supported resolutions.  You can only use the ones that are supported.  You might not be able to do other resolutions below the panel size either (for example 1280x720 might not work)

Spoiler

 

I thought just that.

Wierd part is that CS:GO runs fine when on PC (direct vga to vga connection) on 1280*960 (GT 730 GPU)

Even windows lists 1280*960 @ 60Hz as a display mode (on my PC only)  :-\ 

But still, I will try and let you know.
