I am working with Blitz + and I seem to have problems using Text 10,10 ""My name" For example says too few parameters.

Will Blitz+ work fine with either and lcd or led monitors. or was it created prior.
Also screen mode 3 never seems to work.

For the 2nd part, as long as it runs on the version of Windows installed (can not verify compatibility with 7 or 8 and beyond) it matters not if it is a CRT an LCD, OLED, a HDTV or VGA overhead projector for those who stumped up the ridiculous amount for one, as long as its a valid screen resolution.

Same applies to the cable between pc and monitor (VGA DVA HDMI), as long as both the monitor and PC work and are talking to each other anything in the monitors and video cards display range should work no issues.

An extra parameter is used at the end of the command after the color depth. Here are the parameters:

0 : auto - windowed in debug, fullscreen in non-debug (this is the default)
1 : fullscreen mode
2 : windowed mode

As you have typed it, it is an invalid syntax. The manual is accurate and there are plenty of example programs included.

Add another comma:

Text 10,10,"My name"

LCD and LED monitors are the same thing now. LCD's are most often lit by LED's today. Now is Blitz compatible with FED monitors? I can only hope so since I'm still waiting for the damn things to come out.
