- Hello.
-
- I notice that everytime my code switches video modes (for example,
- using Abrash's mode set code to switch to Mode X) my monitor
- crackles and clicks loudly. Now, I know that this is something
- that multisync monitors do when switching video modes, but I don't
- think that I have ever seen a commercial game cause this. Is
- there some way to temporarily disable the screen during the actual
- mode switch? Or anyway to "cleanly" switch modes? (Especially
- in and out of Mode X.)
-
- Thanks..
