'Input Not Supported' scrawling across second monitor

I have tried restarting the computer, updating the driver for the second monitor, changing the resolution, et. al.

Picture (from my shitty cellphone): http://i.imgur.com/Hs2AuxX.jpg

The monitor is listed as a 'Generic PnP Monitor' in device properties and 'R912E' in Screen Resolution. Brand is Rosewill. Looks a lot like this one.
Any ideas?

The driver has pretty much nothing to do with it. Make sure graphics drivers are updated and verify that the cable isn't the cause. Swap the cable on monitor 1 and monitor 2 if possible.

Generic 1st round advice: unplug everything, take out the graphics card, clean off/blow out any dust, reassemble.

I just swapped it out for a landscape monitor and it worked fine. Looks to me like that's a pretty standard issue with that monitor upon perusing the internet, so I'm not going to use it.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
