There are times >when I come out of standby that my monitor won't come out of standby mode. >So I'm forced to do a hard shutdown to reboot, then it's fine. >Are there any keyboard shortcuts that will re-boot my PC? I've tried CADx2 >but that doesn't work. Any suggestions? >I've downloaded Dell updates for the monitor, graphics card, etc. The error >message I get is.."there is no signal coming from your computer". *shrug*. >This is why I NEED some kind of shortcut if there is one, to reboot without >having to click on things I CAN'T see to reboot..because of my stoooopid >monitor. > TIA.......Jackie When a computer dies, does it see a blue screen? ** YOUR HELP IS URGENTLY NEEDED ** DONATE to Hurricane Katrina victims: http://www.redcross.org/ DONATE Housing (Spare room, shelter) http://www.hurricanehousing.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Talk Shop http://www.computertalkshop.com Un-subscribe/Vacation, http://www.computertalkshop.com/list_options.htm List HowTo: http://www.computertalkshop.com/faq.htm To join Computer Talk Shop's off topic list, please goto: http://computertalkshop.com/other_cts_lists.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
