Video problems with AGS games

[lspace]

I don't know if this is the right forum to put this as I am not a game developer, just someone who is trying to play these games.  Whenever I try to start a game my monitor goes black then shuts down but I can still hear music in the background. I then have to reboot using my reset button.  Most recent games that have done this are Beyond Reality, Framed and Perils of Poom.  Does anyone have a remedy or know what is causing this to happen?  I would appreciate any help you can give me.  Thanks.

Can you run the games in Windowed mode?

How do I run it in windowed mode?  Let me know and I'll try it and let you know.

Okay, I figured out how to run the games in a window.  Beyond Reality only has a playing screen of 5X3 inches and Framed was much bigger.  Haven't tried Perils of Poom yet.  Although I would like to be able to run them in a full screen and if anyone knows how I can do this please let me know.

Your monitor probably can't support the resolution, the display hertz the game is set to, or the color depth the game is in. I had the same problem, but my monitor said "Out of Frequency Range". Try fiddling with the options, and if that doesn't work, your monitor is probably too old or something.

It's worth going into the Setup program and trying both the "Force letterbox mode" option and the "85 Hz" option, seperately and together - see if either of them help at all.
