monitor out of frequency while playing a game...

It means that either the resolution or the refresh rate of the game is set beyond the capability of your monitor. Try uninstalling and re-installing the game to see if it reverts to the default resolution.

there must be a settings panel available for this game even before you start it.
actually this error message simply means that the resolution at which you are trying to play the game is not supported by your monitor.
in that settings panel try to lower down the resolution size...
this happened with me when I used my old CRT monitor at high resolutions.

actually this happened for me.. but the image was viewable but completely distorted by vertical lines.. I some how managed to reduce it to my monitor's max in the game options.
The thing with this game is..I think, the game by default, sets the maximum available resolution even though it is not your monitor's max. Despite of our current desktop resolution, it shoots for the max. resolution set by our gfx. Our gfx card faulty interprets the max resolutions some times, This happens due to faulty cables or crappy converters or just because of any bugs. For me it was 1600x1050 but actually it is 1400x900. It is caused by dvi-vga converter that i was using.
go to "\Users\*****\Documents\Disney Interactive Studios\Split Second"(IF You are in windows 7) or "My Documents\Disney Interactive Studios\Split Second"(IF You are in xp) and find "config_ss.cfg" You can change your resolution, Frequency in that cfg file. But first make another copy of it and save it as a backup.

The cfg file for this game is encrypted and AFAIK you won't be able to change anything from it. Try deleting that file and launching the game.

open "videoconfig" file with notepad... and change the resolution to the resolution your monitor is running on. Or to some basic resolution like 800x600. You can change your desired resolution based on the performance in the game menu once you are able to see it.
