Input Not Supported

[Fredashay]

Each time I try to start Ether One, my scren goes black with a simple grey box with a message that says, "INPUT NOT SUPPORTED". I can hear the game music, but my computer is locked up. Neither the Windows key nor CTRL-ALT-DEL do anything. I can only turn my computer off.

Hi Fredashay. I've not come across this issue before. Do you have any other peripherals plugged into your PC? Maybe some unsupported gamepads or joysticks? If you try unplugging everything except your keyboard and mouse does the game load?

[Fredashay]

Yeah, I have a Logitech game controller, external Western Digital 6TB hard drive, external 3.5" floppy drive, a color inkjet printer, a b/w laser printer, a Lego Robotics IR communications node, an APC UPS monitor, a stereo cassette player to MP3 converter thingy, a Logitech backlit keyboard, a Logtiech trackball, and a gaming mouse, all going through several tandem-connected Kensington USB hubs. Yeah, lol.

I'll try disconnecting everything except the keyboard and mouse. But why would the game care about things it doesn't use? Anyway, I'll let you know how that works out when I unplug all the crap...

That didn't work. BUT, I had the same problem on another game today, and asked the same question. Their solution was to edit an XML file in their game folder to set the my screen size as the game's default. Does this game have anything like that?
