Left for Dead, ARMA II Demo, ARMA II OA Demo all fail TH2GD

As the title says...

None of these games work on my 3x monitor with thriple head 2 go digital, 5040 x 1050 resolution.

I can open the Armas in windowed mode, but as soon as I change it to 5040 x 1050 it just minimizes.

Left 4 Dead(tried the Steam dl and the CD I have) monitors go black, game is minimized, I can hear the audio but no picture.

This sucks, I bought this computer to play games on....but now I'm having trouble finding games that run on this damn thing

So when I make my top monitor the default display it opens just fine, changed it wo windowed mode and dragged it down to my 3x monitors on TH2G and it worked in 1680 x 1050, but didn't have a higher res. So I exited the game, switched my main display back to my 3 monitors on TH2G, opened the game....same damn thing, game is minimized and wont show anything...

Bored and frusterated, lol. Anyone have any ideas?

What games can you play fine at 5040x1050 ?

[suiken_2mieu]

Sounds like they are at 5040x1050 but at 60Hz, try getting them to run at 59Hz or 57Hz like they're supposed to.

Bewst,

Right click on Left 4 Dead > properties > "Set Launch Options"
type "-windowed" (without quotes) , then click ok

Let it run the first time windowed, then change the resolution in game to 5040 x whatever, then make sure to set it to full screen as well. Close the game.

Right click on Left 4 Dead > properties > "Set Launch Options"
erase "-windowed" , then click ok

Start the game and it should be just fine full screened at native res.
