Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / July 2005failed to set video mode
I recently upgraded my video card from a Ge Force 3 Ti200 to a Ge Force 5900 FX 128 DDR.Now when I try to play any HL Source games, it starts up, then pops out from loading and an alert comes up that says "Failed to set video mode - resetting to defaults. Game will now restart with new video settings." And then gives an "OK" or "Cancel". I choose "OK", and it starts up again only to do the same thing over and over. I am using the latest drivers for all and things were working fine before. All other games work fine. Because I only have 17" monitors, my desktop resolution is 800X600. How do I get past this? How do I fix this? Browsed through the settings and didn't see anything. Please help! Thanks much. > I recently upgraded my video card from a Ge Force 3 Ti200 to a Ge Force 5900 > FX 128 DDR.Now when I try to play any HL Source games, it starts up, then [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > How do I get past this?

I had the same problem as you, and my fix was to simply turn off a little program called "RefreshLock" I was running to set custom refresh rates for my monitor. If you have a similar refresh-rate adjustment program running at the same time, you'll suffer this problem. I don't have anything like that. > > I recently upgraded my video card from a Ge Force 3 Ti200 to a Ge Force 5900 > > FX 128 DDR.Now when I try to play any HL Source games, it starts up, then [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > rates for my monitor.

I was on holidays. :-) I had the same issue when moving from a GF4 to 6600GT and used the latest drivers. The latest 77.xx series of nVidia drivers are crap-in-a-can shitastic. I loaded up the 77.72 drivers and couldn't run CS:S in full screen, only a 640x480 window. :-\ I installed the 71.89's instead and it's all good now. Try that.

This is exactly what Valve says at steampowered.com. Roll your drivers back to the 71.89 to fix the problem.
