sometimes my vista basic boots to a black screen. i have to reboot the computer to get the screen back. i don't think this is a w e 7.2 problem. i can unload w e and the screen will stay black until i reboot. it only happens about 2 times per month.
the faded screen with windows 7 is a setting somewhere. i found it once and disabled it but i can't find it now. win 7 has a option to dim the screen when you are in a dimmed room. i don't know how it does this. my computer does not have any kind of light sensor in it. but half the time the screen would be very dim in a bright room. they call this a feature? once i disabled this function it stays at full brightness now. ----- Original Message ----- From: Don S To: gwinfo Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2011 10:08 AM Subject: blank screen, yes or no Well, I have a new computer with windows 7 and running win eyes 7.2. Has anybody heard of this problem with win eyes. The chap who set up my computer said that gw micro has a problem that they don't know how to fix. Since I am blind and of course cannot see the screen, my screen comes up faded. He said some screens come up blank. No problem for us, but, sure a problem if you want help from a sighted friend. This guy is no dummy. He has 20 years of computer knowledge and works for our government when providing assistance for us blind individuals when purchasing computers. He said it is better to load windows 7 but, do a manual start for win eyes. Ok, true or false. He said he talked to gw even recently and they don't know what the problem is. This is not a complaint yet, but, I have never heard of this. Would gw please respond to this.
