Could the resident Computer Experts give me some advice please?? My computer screen, after the screensaver kicks in, goes blank after a short while and i have great difficulty in getting it to come back on. I have to switch the screen on and off, sometimes several times, which does not always work, for it to come back on. The little light on the front of the monitor shows amber but when i press the mouse/space bar it turns green as normal. My question is, Is it time for a new screen or is there any tweaks i can do to stop this happening. Robin

Turn off your screen saver AND your Power Saving Settings. Art
Try disabling screen saver and see if the problem resolves its self Regards, Shirley ----- Original Message ----- From: <RobLMilner@aol.com> To: <GEN-COMP-TIPS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2004 2:49 PM Subject: [Gen-Comp-Tips] Screen problem > Could the resident Computer Experts give me some advice please?? > > My computer screen, after the screensaver kicks in, goes blank after a short > while and i have great difficulty in getting it to come back on.
