Hi group, I'm having a similar problem w XP Home after installing drivers
&
setting up a second monitor. I thought the primary screem was blank when
in
fact it was "black on black" ???
Sony notebook with 256 mb graphics card. I set up the properties of second
monitor, Samsung 245bw, and used it for several days without a problem.
Problem started with I went into display properties/ settings/ advanced/ &
some ati screen & chose higher display over performance. I was trying to
adjust primary display 1920x1200 becasuse it looked smaller & dull
compared
to my new Samsung. Window screens dragged to the 24" screen looked larger.
My
prior second monitor was a Viewsonic 1600x1200. Using same resolution
monitors was supposed to avoid the enlarged screen when dragged to the
second
monitor.
I hope this provide details someone would need. When I applied new
setting,
primary screen flickered which was not the usual change settings apply
procedure, After rebooting, the secondary monitor was the primary. I reset
secondary & primary, checked all refresh rates, resolution, etc. On
rebooting, the primary screen was blank & secondary was on but without
active
desktop, etc. I tried rebooting, etc but screen was always blank, I then
noticed the desktop screen if viewed from an upward angle, everything
appears
black on black. I can't see the mouse, etc.
Started in safe mode to last working config. Saw a quick normal color
screen
before the black on black view. It's impossible to read the screens, small
fonts, etc with 1920x1200 gone wild mini. I'm afraid to change settings
which
started this. The second screen has full color.
HELP, I'm from bc (before computer) generation & can't afford to make
things
worse.
Is it possible to copy files from the primary notebook drive via explore
connecting usb cable? Do they make cables with usb male on both ends? My
usb
cable have different plugs for external hard drives, mini usb, etc, but
not
a single one with usb 2 on both ends.

Is there a name for a black on black screen color I'm describing. Nothing
like new ongoing window problems. Now everyone needs to look up at an
angle
to see if monitors are really blank or "black on black" If this is a new
star, do I get to name it?

It's not a good idea to attach your question to someone else's
thread, and even less so if that thread is more than three weeks
old. Most potential respondents won't see it. Be a man and
start your very own thread!
