Guest Blink_182_fan Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I have just reformatted and installed Xp professional. It installed fine but when it gets to loading up the account (only was one so it automatically goes into it) my monitor goes into standby and wont come off it leaving me no idea what is happening. Is there anyway i could fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 yeah right click desktop and go into properties then screen saver then click on the power button,xp by default xp sets the monitor to go off after 20 mins,just move the option to never in the monitor power scheme.

pwp Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 is the refresh rate on the computer set to one that the monitor can handle.PWP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blink_182_fan Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 well the monitors highest refresh rate is in the 80's i think and i dont know about the computer. The monitor and computer are both the same ages acept the computer has had memory rtc upgraded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwp Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 is your monitor plug and play or do you need to load its own drivers.i had this problem recently when i set up a comp with my monitor, it justloaded with a black screen when i took it back. i had to reload drivers off a floppy disc supplied with the comp,the monitor was a samsung i think.you can also check the refresh rate in safe mode, also when you tried it on the other monitor where the graphics ok. ie- not just on min 256 colours.pwp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blink_182_fan Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 the other monitor never came with any drivers and works fine with any computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
