I ran the CRU 1.2.6 and unchecked every established resolution listed for 640X480, 800X600, 1024X768, and 1280X1024 to the left.
I deleted from the drop down menu the 2 listings from my old monitor (Samsung), and for the 2 listings for my new monitor (ASUS), I made sure all options were unchecked to the left, and I deleted all but 1920X1080 from the detailed and standard resolutions.
I made sure both were Custom Extention Block, since it said nVidia had to be listed as that.
I also hooked up the monitor in a method other than HDMI. My graphic card only has a DVI, so I used a DVI to VGA adapter and connected to the monitor with the VGA outlet.
None of these options made the game launch.
I am so beyond frustrated, but I greatly appreciate your assistance. Thanks very much.
