Wow, I've never heard of the auto adjust breaking the screen. Maybe I can hookup a laptop and figure out what's going on. Anyways, my carputer is mostly done, I'm just trying to get Sirius and Bluetooth phone working right now. Maybe we should schedule a meet soon!

Well, I just wanted to say "Hi"!

yea, i never heard of suck thing either. until it happened to me. the only other res i could get to work was the 1024x768. much too small for computer use. but not really sure what it is for RR use. i need to find out what the resolution is that the computer displays while its booting xp cause that one seems to work.

Lol, I have actually had the same issue as you the last few days. Just uninstall your video drivers, reboot and then reinstall them. You might need to get into Safe mode before it will work.

Sometimes if your machine isn't shutting down correctly like mine (my computer takes over 2 min to hibernate) then your video drivers get corrupted easily.

At the very least, try to get into Safe Mode. That will tell you alot. I really don't think Auto Adjust is your issue. More like bad luck!

americasfuture2 · 03-20-2008, 04:53 PM

i shall try that. i dont go into hibernate. just shut down. and that creates issues with RR. but thats a diff story.

while my setup is out of the truck, it gives me time to make some corrections to some cables. now that its getting warmer, i wont be trying to rush it.

I would first try to get it to go to the lowest possible resolution to start (like 640x480). If the resolution is too high right now you would get your result. Also don't let it resume... let it start fresh.

Compadres put yourself on the "Member Map"... It would be good to see just how many locals we have in the North Dallas area.

americasfuture2 · 03-21-2008, 08:43 AM

I can't get my pc to do anything lower than that 800x600. it was an issue on the pandora that was discussed. but I don't think there was a solution resolved.

I tried doing it.

While I can see my entry when I put it in... it doesn't look like it's part of the map.

Weird. Maybe I did something wrong heh.

Ineffigy · 03-21-2008, 12:31 PM

Yeah, isn't the member map broken?

americasfuture2 · 03-21-2008, 12:53 PM

it was the last time i tried to put my self on it.

RedGTiVR6 · 03-21-2008, 02:03 PM

It's moderated...it was fixed a while back.

We moderate it because we've had issues with users putting inappropriate names in there.

americasfuture2 · 03-22-2008, 08:29 PM

ah, well that makes sense. goes to show the maturity of man kind.

RedGTiVR6 · 03-24-2008, 10:02 AM

I've added a scheduled task to remind me to check it once a week now, so it should be all good. I'm probably going to change that to twice a week though.
