Hey everyone,

I just started playing WoW again, and i finaly got around to installing it on my new mac pro, well the install went with out a hitch, but then when i went to run the game, it gave me an error, that imput is not supported.. Is there a setting that i have to change, or is it because im not using a mac screen, or a screen that needs the adapter?

Sorry if this has been answered in the past..

Thanks. Mike
 
Figured id also add, that it acts like the screen is turned off, like the screen goes black, and the screeen it self gives the error not the computer, do you think that its the screen that does not support this import?....could this possibly be fixed with out buying a new screen?
 
It sounds like your screen isn't supporting the resolution or refresh rate that WoW is trying to use. If this only happens when running WoW, then you can reset the game's resolution to something your monitor supports by going to the WoW folder and then the WTF folder. At this point you can either (i) open the file called config.wtf with a text editor, edit the resolution in there, save the file and try the game again, or (ii) just delete config.wtf. Deleting it gets rid of all of your graphics settings so you'll have to reset everything in-game, but it should default to a resolution and refresh rate that your monitor supports.

Hope that works.
