Monitor Upgrade - Now standby stopped working properly

Richy_T

I have an X300 card which I have happily been running dual with a Sceptre 15" LCD display and a 17" Dell CRT (with a DVI to VGA adapter). Last week, I upgraded to an Acer AL2216W display using DVI and now my standby no longer works properly.

The monitor will go black, the orange light will come on and it will print the "no signal" box as it should and then the light will go green and the picture will come back (looking exactly as if it was not in standby).

I think Windows (2K) still thinks it's in standby as this does not happen again until after some kind of user input occurs.

This does not happen with the same monitor on my machine at work (cheapy Intel chipset) and from what I have been able to determine, this also occurs with XP with the same card. Someone having the same trouble swapped their ATI card for a Nvidia and the problem stopped occuring so I am thinking it is a card/driver problem. I was running the 6.14 drivers then upgraded to the latest and then went to the Omega Drivers and still the problem persists.

I have searched long and hard for an answer but mostly turn up problems people are having with their computers resuming from standby.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks
