Occasionally on some video cards you may be allowed to set the resolution and video quality to one not supported by your computer. This can result in a frame rate drop, a black screen being shown or other strange behaviors. This should be possible to revert using the reset button in the menu. Strange behavior has been seen on some wide screen resolutions of 16/10 and 16/9 ratio.
