When I try to start up Flatout Ultimate Carnage I get the error above. What could be causing this? I have only one monitor enabled at the moment and it is at 1024x768. Thanks for the help.

When you say "at the moment" does that mean you have a dual monitor setup?
The only suggestions I've run across for that error is that it has to do with dual monitor setups and the second one needs to be disabled. |

Yes I do have a dual monitor setup and the secondary one is disabled and unplugged. I don't know what else I could do.

The game apparently tries to detect the optimal resolution for your monitor. The 'native' resolution is the number of pixels your monitor actually has physically. For example, a monitor with a resolution of 1280x900 could still display 800x600 but this would not be the native resolution.
Does the game not start at all due to this error? Is there a way to get into the options menu for the game and set the resolution manually? Some games have a separate tool for this in the start menu.

I unplugged my second monitor and also my projector then restarted and it worked. It is strange I have to unplug everything when nothing was enabled. But o well it works. Thanks for the help any way.
