Hello,

Today i got my new dell inspiron 530, complete with the best graphics card, blah blah blah. When running armagetron, the LG monitor just shuts off and goes into power save mode. Yes, it is the game, its the only thing i've put on this computer since i got it. Any help is appreciated, and please know what you are talking about, this computer is very expensive. The genious's at dell dont even know whats going on.

very helpful.

Can you try if other OpenGL apps work?

They do suck. THey're closing a plant in the area and shipping it overseas, and there's talk they'll close the Round Rock campus. Where they'll move it, I don't know, because as far as I know, that's their corporate headquarters. It's going to turn this little town into a ghost town.

Anyway, before we can talk like we know what we're talking about, you're going to have to give us more information about your very expensive computer, such as what video card it has, what OS, cpu etc. All the regular stuff.

what happens if you run it in windowed mode?

i see that they really do suck hehe.

The os is windows xp home edition
the video card has nVidia
and the cpu is an inspiron 530.

hope this helps!

also, i dunno what it runs like when in windows mode, it never lets me get that far.
