Re: Driver issue with XP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Molson,
Is what you are saying XP goes to a blank screen on starting Windows, and
then the monitor goes into standby? Whereas you can start in Safe Mode and
the monitor works? What sort of delay is there between windows starting and
it going into standby?
Try this:
Start in Safe mode
to do this repeatedly press the F8 key as thr PC starts

In Safe Mode
Switch your power management settings in Control Panel to always on or as
Microsoft calls never
Ths applies to the monitor and hard disk

You may also want to look at the power management settings in the BIOS.



Try rebooting the PC and see if the problem has cleared
