Start-up problem
My monitor will only come on if I press the monitor on switch
immediately after the first beep in the computer start-up sequence. Have updated all drivers. Am running vista premium and have a viewsonic vx922 monitor. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can offer. wwp

Start-up problem
Hi,
The first beep is usually the video card indicator. Are you saying that the monitor doesn't work if you switch it on before this? Or that if you wait a few minutes to turn it on it won't work then? Please clarify what the problem is. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com wrote in message news  My monitor will only come on if I press the monitor on switch immediately after the first beep in the computer start-up sequence.

Yes to both your questions and if I turn off the monitor at any time
it will no come back on, The monitor start switch has a light in it and goes on and off. Thank you for this. wwp On Sun, 11 Jan 2009 06:31:20 -0500, "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi, The first beep is usually the video card indicator.

Sounds like the problem is in the display adapter. If you can, try the
monitor on another system. I suspect you'll find that it's ok. If so, then the faulty component (meaning it needs to be replaced) is the video card. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "wwp" wrote in message ...

That's because Rick is a TOP POSTER and the little "--" above his sig cuts everything off beneath it when you try to quote what you're replying to. Annoying as hell, isn't it!? To over-ride that annoyance caused by TOP POSTERS with sigs, highlight the whole post before you reply. PJ White

Just replaced the video card but I've got a feeling you're right. I'll try to get a replacement from the store.

No it's not - I get that in Thunderbird when the person top-posts a reply and the sig is at the top as well - all the quoted post(s) below are stripped out when I hit "Reply"... -- Asking a question? Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about, your OS, Service Pack level and the FULL contents of any error message(s)
