Monitor in Power Saver mode
When I start windows vista normally, My monitor goes blank. when press the
menu button on the monitor, it says that it is in power saver mode. I cannot
get any picture to show up. My monitor works fine in safe mode. This happened
just after I tried to update my graphics drivers.

Re: Monitor in Power Saver mode
Hi,
Use F8 at boot to get the start menu, choose the 'last known good
configuration'.

Re: Monitor in Power Saver mode
I tried that, and It booted windows in safe mode. I have also tried rolling
back the updates on my graphics drivers, but windows said there were no
updates I could roll back.

Re: Monitor in Power Saver mode
Yes, I have. I restored my computer to a few days before today, and it still
had the problem.

Re: Monitor in Power Saver mode
Hi,
From safe mode, uninstall any supporting video software, then retry starting
normally. If that succeeds, you can then download and install the most
recent distribution from the manufacturer.

Re: Monitor in Power Saver mode
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean uninstall the drivers?

Re: Monitor in Power Saver mode
Hi,
Usually, most video cards have supporting software controls that can be
removed under Programs and Features in the control panel. When you do so,
the system should revert to a standard VGA driver (same as you are using in
Safe mode), allowing you to boot into normal mode again.

Re: Monitor in Power Saver mode
I was able to uninstall the software successfully, and now windows vista
boots up normally. The monitor no longer goes in to power saver mode. Thank
you so much for your help!
