Screen goes to black
I have had little trouble runing Vista. In fact I kind of like it. Just
recently upon awakening from sleep my desktop screen comes on normally for a couple seconds then it goes to black for a couple seconds then returns to normal. This has not caused any problems yet. Is there something I can do to "rebuild" Vista? Is this an operating system or a hardware issue? Daily I run Disk Cleanup, Windows Defender, Trend Anti Viris software and weekly I run Defragmenter. Is there anything else I need to do?

Whats the video card you have installed on the system ? Did you try to update the drivers for the video card ? -- tanuj_chadha Tanuj History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. - Karl Marx :geek:

Built-in video card. Compaq Precario laptop. I just recently updated the
BIOs. Is that what you mean? I recently added an additional monitor and returned it because it was defective. "tanuj_chadha" wrote: Whats the video card you have installed on the system ?

Daily runs of all of those is hardly a good way to spend time. Disk cleanup... fine. Once a week would be more sensible. Defender: once you've scanned, let it do its own thing on its own schedule. Trend AV: same as Defender. Defrag: same there too. Defragging will occur automatically in the background.
