Member🙁 I just bought a new computer with windows XP. Now I took my old computer and brought it in my room 😀 Now I try to set it up and everytime I plug in the screen, the light on the screen that is green turns Orange, its exactly liek it goes on standby. Now I dont know if its a router card I installed but I dont see how that can be the problem. ANyone have any suggestions. I know its not my screen cuz I tried 2 different screens.

ParticipantYour monitor cannot handle the resolution that your computer has, it appears.
Control panel > Display properties > Settings (tab) > set to something lower than you currently have for “Screen resolution.”

MemberIt cannot be that its cuz I didnt get a new monitor or anything, all I did was take the tower, screen , mouse etc… and brought it in my room. The new computer, I just installed it here, thats what I am currently using. It only stopped once I brought the comp. in my room.

ParticipantDo you ever see anything on the screen, before Windows starts?

MemberNope I dont see anything. Its just a black screen. Like if I dont have the wire pluged to my tower, it will say NO SIGNAL or something like that SO then I plug it in then it just like turns black and the On light turns orange. DO u think its my router card I just added? I really want to get it working 🙁

ParticipantTry uninstalling your “router card,” I assume you mean “Network Interface Card,” but same thing.

ParticipantSometimes the IRQ of the PCI slot next to the AGP (video) card slot are the same, try one of the others. If that still doesn’t’ work, you’ll have to get a new card.

Keymasterwindows xp has a real issue – failing to detect hardware when install unless formated with hardware attached its the same with graphic cards and network cards it just a real pain in the ass.
