pi-dickens_project Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 My friends monitor is being really weird. WHen i connect it to his computer it doesnt seem to recieve a signal from the computer. When i connect the monitor to my computer.. it works fine. Now, when i conect my monitor to his puter everything works fine. I dont understand why his monitor jsut doesnt like his computer. It was working fine until I installed XP Pro onto his computer... he previously had 98. I dont see how that would effect or cause the situation. Any one know whats goin on?

sdy284 Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 hmmmm, is it an older monitor? Maybe there is a driver @ the monitor manufacturer's website that'll fix your problem. Other than that...ya got me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi-dickens_project Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 i dont think that would be a prob... i mean, it worked fine on my laptop that jsut got a new installation of XP pro. but i'll try. its an old e-machine monitor (ugh... i know) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 On their computer, when you go to the display properties does it have any idea what the monitor is? Or does it just call it an unknown monitor? It should say like "plug and play monitor" or something like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
