Thanx for all your help.

Have a look in devices manager if your monotor is recognize as CHIMEI or plug and play.

Thanx KyColonelT
This is going to cause me a problem cos I had stuff done to the computer to get my internet sorted out at last and restoring will undo that too.
Not sure what to do about that.
HP, should have known.
Ta again.

Sid,

I can't find my monitor at all in device manager.

**sidney1st** · 07-29-2008

Sabcully,

Can you check in the Nvidia manager and update the monitor drivers if only plug and play is shown.

Hi everybody,
you would not believe it. Been hunting around for the solution for days now. Have come across this in all sorts of places, people think its the monitor, CHIMEI, others think it is vista and others the nvidia software. Probably a bit of all.
THE SOLUTION:
Install the latest driver for card, switch off computer, unplug DVI cable and power from monitor, wait a few minutes, switch computer back on and: Your monitor and graphics card is working fine together.
This has worked for a lot of people and for me too. Such a frustrating problem with such an easy answer. Hope it will keep working. My monitor has turned up in the device manager again as well now.

Thanx for all your help!
:-)

Glad it works!
But (i always say there is a but) maybe the problem will come back.
Is the monitor recognized as Chimei or plug an play?

**sabcully** · 07-30-2008

Only plug and play.

**sidney1st** · 07-30-2008

Well, that is what i thought and maybe your problem came from the monitor.
Now it is recognized, update the monitor drivers with the drivers which came with it.

**sabcully** · 07-30-2008

Sid,
been looking for Chimei drivers but have not been able to find any. Have found out though that the 'no signal' problem is not exclusive to CHIMEI monitors.
Will have another go.
Thanx a lot. :-)
