"Input not supported" in Win XP

Hi!

I've done some research on this subject (searched the forum, Google) , but couldn't solve it by myself.

I have NVIDIA Geforce4 MX 440 and Acer AL1916.

I want to play an old DOS game Settlers II and I can do this in 640x480 resolution (everything is working well), but when I try to raise the resolution to 800x600 or 1024x768, I'll get "input not supported" message in my screen, and it seems it has something to do with the monitor. My refresh rate should be just 60, so that (too high ref.rate) shouldn't be the problem. In another monitor with XP, the higher resolutions work fine.

Any ideas on how to get it to work?

I've had the same problems as you with Blood: Cryptic Passage. I've tried everything to fix it but it was still locked on 640x480. I have no idea of how to fix this issue, sorry...

This might help. I've found out that on some of these old DOS games, the resolution cannot go any higher than 640x480 due to monitor and video card limitations during that time.
