2nd Monitor Not Working
Greetings,
I am running dual monitors (22" Hans-G LCD) with NVIDIA 512MB 9600GT graphics card. On restart (I shut it down last night) one monitor is not displaying anything. The power light blinks very slowly and you cannot see anything in the display area. If I drag a window into that monitor it cannot be seen, but I know it is there. This has happened once before on restart after installing updates. Also, the power button does not seem to affect it. You cannot turn it off unless you unplug it.
I have tried unplugging it from the power source and the HDMI cable and neither option works. I have also tried to using an earlier restore point. Nothing seems to work.
(EDIT 1: Is it possible it is in sleep mode and won't wake up? It seems as thought the power light is acting like it's in sleep mode.
EDIT 2: Just put the monitors to sleep. The monitor that's working the light went to amber and stayed steady. The non-working monitor kept blinking green really slowly. I'm stumped and bummed.)
When I had this problem before I'm not really sure what I did to get it working again. I tried everything then too except going back to a previous restore point. It seems it began "working" again after I unplugged it, but that has not helped this time.
Hopefully I posted this in the right forum.
Thanks all.
