Hi

My Sony monitor (15" CRT) LED 'Power Saving' turn on when I play some game..I can hear the game sound,but only no display.
I am running under WinXP. What's happen on my PC?
It doesn't happen before using Windows 98.
Should I need to updated the VGA card driver?

Thank you.
 
so you're playing a game and the monitor goes into standby? does it wake back up?

check that the cable is plugged into your video card completely and screwed in.
 
Your refresh rate may be too high for your LCD.

Are you running a refresh fix?

Or perhaps the refresh rate it too low??? (is that possible?) and u need to run a refresh fix???
 
This is most definatly a refresh rate problem, if the game has the option to 'Play in Safemode' choose this option and set the display settings the same as you are currently using within windows.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
