start > control panel > power options

[Jolen98]

i think it mit be a bug but wen i do scan it doesnt decect ne thing
i just did what u said
im gonna reboot

[Jolen98]

that didnt help
i hate this

[gerryf]

you need to slow down and be clear.

When you say the screen goes off, what happens.

The screen goes off? The PC shuts down? (is the local drive still f)?

[Jolen98]

the screen goes off but system stays on
local drive now C:

[gerryf]

ok, screen goes off and pressing a key is not bringing it back up.

Does this occur with a different computer attached to the monitor, or this monitor attached to a different computer?

[Jolen98]

pressing a key doesnt work
and i already tried hookn it up to dads it didnt do it on his

[Jolen98]

come on peeps i need som help on this i dont want to just be in safe mode all the time
PLZ

wait, what did not do it on his....his computer and your monitor or his monitor and your computer.

Have you installed the video drivers for this since installing xp?

What drivers, EXACTLY did you install

[Jolen98]

i tryd his monitor and it was fine and his computer and it was fine
and i installd the nvidia drivers but i installd those after it was happn

[gerryf]

you tried his monitor on your computer and it was fine

and you tried your computer on his monitor and it was fine

but your monitor and your computer are not fine? That is somewhat hard to believe.

In device manager, are there any yellow !s?
