So, I am running a GeForce GS 250 and using a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 on an Acer flat screen monitor.  I recently got "Star Wars: the Old Republic" and tried to log into the game only to get a black screen and a "Input Not Supported" error.  I changed the settings in the .ini file and it had no effect.  I figured I'd try to change it in the Monitor Resolution settings in Windows (running 64-bit Windows 7) and if I use any setting aside from my current one, I get the same "input not supported" message.  It's happening not only in the game but the damned resolution settings as well!  I have the latest Nvidia drivers and Direct X and I am stumped here.  How can I get rid of this damned message?

Any help is appreciated.

That's usually a sign you have the game set to use a refresh rate or resolution your monitor can't handle.
Set the game to use windowed mode and then try setting the options to match what you want to use.
To get it into windowed mode, open your My Documents folder and the Diablo III folder inside.  You'll see a D3Prefs.txt  file.  Open it with Notepad and look for this line:

DisplayModeWindowMode "0"

Edit it to

DisplayModeWindowMode "1"

Save and exit and start the game up now.

I'd expect there's something similar in the .ini file.

Changed the setting in the .ini file to what, Silver?

I managed to google this:
QuoteI finally got it fixed. I went into the client INI file and changed the fullscreen. I changed it to FALSE and then the game will load. I'll get to play tonight after work

Yeah, that was the work around I was playing with and unfortunately, it did nothing for me.  The 'Old Republic' game does not have an options program you can run off the main screen so it basically means you sit here and try to screw with the .ini file until it works.

Ah ha! It was the refresh rate! I set it in the .ini file correctly and we are good to go.  Thanks to you both!
