Error "invalid videomode specified" - First start of Battlefield 1942

...

"invalid videomode specified"

(This happends mostly on newer Laptops with integrated IntelGPU).


If you just installed Battlefield 1942 or some other old games which needs 800x600 for the InGameMenu, and you get this error at the first start, then your Laptop does not support 800x600 Resolution natively.


Solution  (nVidia/AMD/iGPU)

Add a custom resolution for 800x600x60 (60 is the refresh rate)

If your Monitor does support higher RefreshRate, add your specified RefreshRate instead of 60

(But i guess it happends only if a Intel iGPU is involved)
