Monitor Reboots to Power Saving
Shuttle AN35(N) Ultra
Win XP Home SP2 On Power Options Properties, Power Schemes, I have Monitor set to Never go off. I previously described the behavior of my newly acquired (but used) HP A4033A Monitor. Specs: http://www.griffintechnology.com/arc...s/Hewle12.html I didn't figure out the problem, but the monitor is usable. Anyway, after using it for a few days, I can describe its behavior somewhat better. When I shutdown and reboot using another monitor, a Compaq 171FS, everything, including the monitor, works normally. When I shutdown and reboot using the HP A4033A, the monitor Immediately goes into Power Saving, and I can't get it out of it by turning the monitor switch off and on. If, however, I'm up and running on the Compaq monitor and then I switch monitors to the HP without turning off the system, then the HP functions normally - at least until I try to reboot. Anybody know what's up? -- ********************* * Nehmo Sergheyev * ********************* |

- JAD -
your refresh setting are out of wack. is the monitor PnP? - Nehmo - How do you tell? - JAD - and is it described properly in display properties. A xx monitor on a xx adapter? - Nehmo - Not really. The monitor is listed as the previous monitor, the Compaq, which apparently was also made by HP. And the Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce2 MXMX 400 (Microsoft Corporation). I tried using the Windows search for a new driver, but it said the one I have is the best I have. I found a driver on Driverguide http://members.driverguide.com/ , but I can't seem to install it. In the Add Hardware Wizard, if I select HP or Hewlett Packard (there's a listing for each), the monitor isn't listed, although plenty of other HP products are. What am I doing wrong? -- ********************* * Nehmo Sergheyev * ********************* |

ok your not doing anything wrong really. you have to go to the
manufactures website and DL the INF file for the monitor. Are you saying the adapter is not correctly shown either? or just the monitors. Go into safe mode and delete all the monitors listed. then reboot. when the monitor is picked up (hopefully its PnP) then point windows to where you downloaded the file.

- JAD - you have to go to the manufactures website and DL the INF file for the monitor. - Nehmo - I couldn't find anything on HP's site, and I doubt there is anything. They treat thier old procucts like step children. - JAD - Are you saying the adapter is not correctly shown either? or just the monitors. - Nehmo - The adapter is listed as NVIDIA GeForce2 MXMX 400 (Microsoft Corporation). How would I tell if that's incorrect? - JAD - Go into safe mode and delete all the monitors listed. then reboot. when the monitor is picked up (hopefully its PnP) then point windows to where you downloaded the file. - Nehmo - How do I tell if the monitor is PnP? And if I delete all the monitors, is it possible that the monitor, or even another monitor, wouldn't work at all when I rebooted? And why do you need to be in save mode to do this operation? -- ********************* * Nehmo Sergheyev * ********************* |

How would I tell if that's incorrect? If it is functioning well then its correct, maybe not the latest however. I was referring to a name like . standard VGA adapter. - JAD - Go into safe mode and delete all the monitors listed. then reboot. when the monitor is picked up (hopefully its PnP) then point windows to where you downloaded the file. - Nehmo - How do I tell if the monitor is PnP? And if I delete all the monitors, is it possible that the monitor, or even another monitor, wouldn't work at all when I rebooted? And why do you need to be in save mode to do this operation? Usually when Pnp is presnt the Hardware wizard will begin. Hardware found..'Default Pnp monitor' etc etc The 'default' monitor' setting will be installed. and that will work for 99% of CRT's. Safe mode will show all the monitors that have come and gone and will clean that up. -- ********************* * Nehmo Sergheyev * ********************* |
