Hi all. A friend wanted his laptop configured, so I got a config file from the makers site. I'm sure they said is was a self extracting file, so I ran it (after virus checking - ok) on my machine to 'unpack' the contents. Instead it ran a configuration utility. I shut it down, copied it to a floppy and did the deeds on the laptop. But... Now, when I turn my PC on for the first time I find that W95 seems to be power saving the screen. That is to say that my monitor, which is powered up by a signal from the MB, won't fire up until W95 reaches the stage of showing the icons on screen. To be precise, it's when the username is supplied by tweakui. No problem, except that if (when!) I have a crash I can't see the screen to go through the dos scandisk utility! It's a game of blind man's buff to get back to windows. I have played with all the power management settings I can find, but this still happens. Can anyone point me to the correct settings to change? PII 350 w95b tweakui matrox quickdesk firstaid 97. Many thanks. Again.
