The second display that i have connected to my MBP laptop stays (sometimes) blank in Vista after resuming from standby. The Video card is an ATI Radeon 1600. The driver properties from the 2nd display "list all modes" is incorrect when this happeneds it shows (800x600) the display is capable of a (1028x1280) resolution. Is this an known error, and is there a something i can do to fix this?
View 4 Repliessometimes and more than ever its doing it now, when I turn on my computer the screen just stays blank. Most times when I turn it off and on again it will recognize it then work fine, but as of lately it can take 10+ times. When it does this and you turn it off, it does flash the Analog and Digital box in the top left corner, meaning its recognizing it but it still wont work when computer is turned on again. Im thinking the problem is something to do with the Digital/Analog setting on my monitor, or something in the settings?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have my power settings configured ot turn off the monitor after 15 minutes of inactivity. . . but the problem is, if I'm playing a game with my Logitech USB Gamepad, Vista doesn't count the input from the gamepad as 'activity', which is a little puzzling.
Is there a way to get Vista to recognize gamepad input as activity so that it does not turn off my display in the middle of playing my game? I do realize that I can change my power settings to just not turn off the display, but that's inconvenient because then I have to change my settings back when I'm done with the game. As far as I'm concerned, Vista is just not behaving in a reasonable fashion if game controller input doesn't prevent screen blanking.
i m on windows vista basic. I turned on my laptop to find the words WINDOWS IS RESUMING on a blank screen and now my laptop is stuck and nothing seems to work.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhenever i turn the computer on after it has been asleep the sound will not play. It will not play in WMP 11 or in itunes 8. It also says that the test for the sound cant play. Then when you go into the sound control panel it says no audio devices are installed. I have installed the newest driver I could find and it still does it. The thing is, if I restart (the computer) the sound works fine. Or if i install the driver it works fine until the computer goes to sleep. I have vista Home Premium x64 (service pack 1), AMD Phenom Quad, Nvidia 9800GT video card, Asus M2N-SLI 560 Nforce motherboard, 4 gigs of ram, and the built in sound card is a c-media cm6501. If you need to know more let me know.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to burn an audio CD on my computer (i've only had this computer for a few months and this is the first time I've tried burning any kind of disc), and when I put the CD in and hit burn it says that my cd is not blank, I tried a handful of blank cds and it spit them all back out at me saying it's not blank. Just to make sure, I opened my computer and looked at the disc there and it WAS blank, so I don't know what to do.

I have a quad boot system with xp,vista32 and vista 64,all with different drivers for my 2 gtx260's,one of them has no display driver and it is still fuzzy.
I've tried two monitors,3 cables,many graphix drivers,and swapping my gtx260's around but no go.
The only thing i can think of is maybe interferance,but i've owned this system for two years and this is a fairly new problem.
Blank DVD's are no longer detected by my system but blank CD's are ok.
DVD's that are already written are ok and will load ok.
I need help. When I insert any non blank homemade cd Vista can't read it and wants to format it. Happens with Autoplay or when I use Windows explorer. Does not matter what is on the cd: music, pictures, data files, etc. The cds work fine in any other pc. If I insert a store bought or commercial made cd, no problems. Only have a problem with homemade ones. The drive is a Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-850s.
I've done the following:
1. Uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it.
2. Added "NoCDBurning" to the registry (possible fix found on other forums)
I would like to start doing video, on my computer, and I know nothing about it.Right now, what I am trying is to copy an old (8mm film - no sound) home movie that is on a DVD -- to my hard drive -- then burn it onto a blank DVD so that I can have a 2nd copy. I am asking for step by step help as to how to do this. What I've tried on my own hasn't worked. I have a vista laptop about 6 months old, 2GB ram, Duo core.
View 9 Replies View RelatedPrior to SP1, the RAM usage was always at about 90-95% and the CPU usage seemed to be quite a lot. After SP1, RAM usage seems to be down to about 70% and the CPU usage is a lot less. Before SP1, IE used to take a while to load a new blank tab, and to exit with a number of tabs open. After SP1, new blank tabs load almost instantaneously, and exiting seems to be very much more snappy. Office applications also seem to load much more quickly. The C: drive prior to SP1 had 19.1 GB free out of 37 - after SP1 it now has 22.1 GB free.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI can connect my laptop to my computer and get sound and video with absolutely no problem. Where I run into my issue: When it's connected, the TV turn into the monitor and my laptop goes blank. (I believe I selected this option not knowing what the outcome would be when my windows vista laptop was connected to the TV for the very first time). I absolutely dislike that I have to work all my functions through my TV and would like my laptop monitor to display a screen at the same time. Is that possible to undo what I caused?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had 2.5GB of RAM in HP laptop. OS - vista home premium service pack2.
The system works fine.
I upgraded to 4GB RAM(2*2GB). when upgraded to 4GB in bios able to see as ~3.33GB of RAM. I am able to see microsoft progress bar also, but after that the screen is blank and able to hear windows logon sound but no display. The screen is black.
When installed only the new 2GB of RAM the system work fine. So no problem with the new 2GB also. But with 4GB the screen is blank. I have nvidia GeForce 7400 graphics card. Is there any configuration need to be done in vista before installing 4GB of RAM?
Vista Home Premium. I have no third-party CD/DVD recording software on the machine. Every time I go to burn files to a CDR, CDRW, DVD R or DVDRW using the Windows burning function it wants to format the disk. If I cancel the format, then the burn is not proceeded with. XP does not do this. How do I stop this infuriating behaviour?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Toshiba A100 laptop with vista home premium installed on it. I am trying to burn DVD disks on my laptop, and when i insert a disk it says i don't have a disk in the drive and i should input one. I tried several DVD disks, including a rewritable one. I looked at a similar Toshiba laptop, and it does write DVD disks.
I don't know how long i've had this prob since, i use this option very rarely. Is there a way to fix the DVD drive without replacing it? and keeping reinstalling windows as last option ? (I'm not sure reinstalling will help). The drive does read DVD disks that have something on them. The drive does burn CD type disks
I accidently turned my Dell laptop off while it was performing windows updates. When I restarted the laptop it goes to the login screen and then goes blank (i cant enter the username/password).
I have tried the following:
1. Starting in safe mode (same issue)
2. Using the boot dvd and trying the different options in there (Repair, Restore to safe point, Memory check).
3. Using the boot dvd I have tried several different restore points, including the original store point.
4. I have looked through every forum and every post I can find and cannot find any suggested resolutions.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI was having fun with the partitions (I just found the partitioning system in Vista its very neat). Anyways I kinda made a new partition and installed a fresh copy of windows on it, planning to replace my old one. I booted up the new one played around a bit and got off, and booted up the old partition. This is where the problem starts I'm in the old partition and back playing around in the partition stuff again. This time trying to make the new partition bigger, well I shrink the old one but it won't let me expand the old one so there is a blank partition now sitting there. When I click the new one (with vista installed on it) I see make active partition so I click it, it says something like warning this may cause failure if there isn't an bootable sorce on here or something like that so I'm like yea sure. I reboot the computer the bios post then after that is says "ssing" "s ctr alt del".................
