Hi,

I have connected my computer to a TV screen and for some reason it will not display. It comes up with Error -999 and the script details the following:

Log DisplayDevice(s) Refresh Rates
If DisplayOpen = True Then
c.SetAttrib Display.Name & ".RefreshRate", Format$(Display.CalculatedRefreshRate, "0.000")

'Ensure that the refresh rate is acceptable
If Display.CalculatedRefreshRate < 40 Then
Err.Raise -999, "Unable to obtain a valid refresh rate.Please ensure your display adapter is configured with the most recent and device specific driver.(Standard Display Adapter under Windows Vista is not compatible)"
End If
End If

I am not using Windows Vista and all the drivers have been updated. The task runs fine on the computer when it is not mirrored to the TV.

I have downloaded the latest e-prime as well.

Changing the default refresh rate suggested on some other posts did not work.

Any suggestions???

Thanks heaps

Angela

Does the task work when it is only the TV or only the monitor?

What type of display adapter and what type of connection (dvi, hdmi, vga).

Can you confirm that it is/not using "Standard Display Driver" or a vendor specific one?

Hi,

Thanks for responding.

The task only works on the PC if we turn off the mirrored display with the TV otherwise it will not run at all.

It is displayed through a USB with the HDMI connector and it we use the standard display drivers.

I'm kind of desperate to get this project up and running so any advice would be extremely appreciated.

Cheers,

Angela
