| | Safely removing devices and monitor blanking issue When I connect a USB device to my computer that has VISTA BUSINESS 32-bit installed on it, the monitor screen will go black for approx. 5sec's and then return. When I go to disconnect the drive via the SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE, the same thing happens again. Can anyone tell me what I can do to resolve this issue. This is a new install on a fresh harddrive with all recent updates from microsoft's website. Have also tried the USB rollup driver with no luck. Any help will be greatly appriciated... |

| | Re: Safely removing devices and monitor blanking issue Thanks for your response, but I want to add that I had VISTA installed previously on a MSI board with an AMD chip and did not have this issue. It seems that I have only started having this issue since upgrading to an ASUS board with and Intel chip..Not sure if there is any corrolation.... "Mark L.

| | Re: Safely removing devices and monitor blanking issue Make sure you have installed all the drivers directly from the hardware provider sites. Sometimes the MS supplied drivers don't completely work. I have that issue with a couple of the devices in my laptop. For example to get full soundcard functionality I need the actual SigmaTel driver.

| | Re: Safely removing devices and monitor blanking issue Hi Michael, Thanks for your response. I was just wondering are you saying that I have to add a driver for any device that I plug into my pc? USB DRIVES and all??? It just seems funny cause I have not had to ever do that before. I had VISTA BUSINESS installed before and the only thing that I have changed is the hardware. I will give it a try and I will keep you posted... Thank you... "Michael Price" wrote: Quote: > Make sure you have installed all the drivers directly from the hardware > provider sites.
