No video signal

[raymondg]

Hi,

I downloaded the Mach 3 demo last night so I could take a closer look at it, but since I don't currently have an xp/2000 machine available with a parallel port, I installed it in my newer XP machine with graphics card,but no parallel port. Everything seemed fine, but today, when I turn it on, I didn't get a video signal. I've retried several times with the same result. It may just be coincidence, but I was wondering if anyone here has seen this before? Help!

Thanks,
Raymond

Raymond,

Will your machine boot in SAFE MODE?

Jeff,
Thanks. Your suggestion got me into proper trouble shooting mode. I eventually figured out I had keyboard control, and that the operating system was running, and then got the wild notion to cycle the monitor off and on while the computer was off. I feel a little stupid now. I think it must have been some bug in the monitor's software and it just needed a 'reboot'. Not a Mach 3 issue at all I think.

Thanks Again,
Raymond

Raymond,

Your machine may have been in power saving mode, Mach3 may have had issues with that.

Glad to hear you are back on track.
