Sunday, October 25, AM. This 'blackscreen' behaviour is reasonably commonly encountered, and it usually results from the use of a display monitor which does not reliably report its EDID information to the PC.

What happens is that, when Windows is installed, the monitor gets identified as 'generic plug and play'. Then, when the updated display driver is installed the display output can be incorrectly configured to settings outside of the range of the monitor's capabilities. Locate a suitable device driver for your monitor, install that in Safe Mode, and then reboot. It's a nuisance when this happens, but it usually only arises where a 'cheaper' monitor is in use. What you explained does make a little sense, but why wouldn't the OS be able to figure this out?

I know you say this is "reasonably common", but it's really making it hard on users. I would love to try your solution, but from what I can see, there are no drivers for my monitor.

I have a Westinghouse LCM 22w2. It's a 22" LCD. The video card has two DVI ports. I have tried starting with the monitor plugged into the other port and also tried with the monitor plugged disconnected. I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled the latest I've tried uninstalling the drivers and then restarting from both modes, but still end up with my computer hanging as soon as the OS begins to start.

The sad part is, I ended up with an issue with 7 Beta, but don't remember if it was the same issue and I don't remember what the solution was.

I want to say I had to use a very old nVidia driver to make it work. I can still boot up in the old 7 Beta version on my other hard drive, but can't really seem to see any differences in how it is set up. Monday, November 2, AM. I have a Westinghouse do not list a monitor driver for it, but their FAQ information suggests that if you do not get a display when it is connected to a PC you should perform a full shutdown of the PC not sleep or standby and then restart with a full power up again.

If that doesn't work it might be an option to temporarily connect a different monitor so you actually get a display and can work on the thing. Then alter the settings to ensure the PC display output is set to x screen resolution, at 60Hz refresh rate. Getting a TV configured and working is opften easier when it is connected as a secondary display unit, rather than as the sole display unit.

Why can't the OS 'figure it out'? Because, as mentioned above if EDID information isn't reported reliably then there's not much for the OS to go by unless a monitor driver is installed spearately. The display adaptor device driver will often identify the monitor more readily, because the monitor is connected directly to that device. Windows itself is trying to identify the monitor via the graphics adaptor, and if the monitor itself is unreliably reporting to begin with Monday, November 2, PM.

I pulled out the manual which calls it a monitor. I'm not sure how your research makes you think it is a TV. It doesn't have a TV tuner, but does have the capabilities of handling additional video inputs. I have never had an issue with XP handling this monitor.

My Windows 7 Beta version is able to make it work. I apparently used an older nVidia Whiled booted into the beta version, I looked at the settings and I have it set at its native resolution of x and it keeps forcing itself to 59 Hz instead of Tonight I tried installing the Do you think it could have something to do with having the monitor connected via DVI cable?

Nvidia drivers can be downloaded and installed from their website. Make sure that the installation is clean. Make sure Advanced Installation is selected. There has never been a problem. As stated before, if you have an Nvidia card, switch over the cards, enter windows and wait a few minutes, it will detect which card you installed to continue to work.

The Device Manager window can be launched by typing devmgmt. For more information about Display adapters, double-click the category name. Sometimes, you can just select Uninstall. Install the correct driver once you have selected it. Installation, then select Clean Installation. During this process, all former NVIDIA drivers will be erased from the computer and the latest versions will be installed.

It can.
