temporary black screens
I’ve installed Windows 7 on a computer and am testing to determine how best to set-up the machine for my particular use.
Every now and again, say once or three time an hour, apparently no matter what I’m doing, the screen goes black for a short time (at least up to 5 seconds), then everything seems normal again. I found many complaints about black screens on line but they all seem to be a different situation.
I was told by an acquaintance who has long used Win 7 that this is normal for everyone using Vista or Win 7, it is a feature of basic Windows security and can only be overcome by deactivating UAC so as to be running in “root” mode. That seems too nonfunctional and inconvenient to be true but ...?? is it? What is going on? If I’m recording a live performance, is there going to be 5 seconds or so missing every little bit?
