Tried the 'view' option before and then just tried again (enable,
reboot, disable, reboot) and it doesn't work for this situation.
I've given up on the monitor thing. I had thought I'd had it fixed, but
what happens, happens sometime after XP is fully booted. If I turn on
the monitor anytime before full boot, the video is on. If I wait a good
long time, then there is no video. All options in Power Management are
set to Never.

Uncheck "Restore Previous Folder Windows At Startup"?
Power the monitor on before booting? Odds are the video card senses no
active monitor thus never enables any of the connectors. ATI's "force
detection" might fix that, also setting up a profile in Catylist w/ a
hotkey combination to activate it ("ctrl+alt+shift+1" for example)
might. Nvidia likely similar.
Never use this myself, always have Win2k style login dialog after C-A-D
setup. There are admin options to allow automatic admin login on reboot
for X amount of boots, dunno if that's the same trick.

I've got three minor problems with XP that aren't show stoppers but
annoying.
First, I mentioned this in a previous message to the list. I have a
folder, C:\Documents, which opens at startup. This is not a M$
created folder, I created it. I have been through some 200 webpages
and nothing has worked. I also searched completely through the
registry for that exact folder. Startup and Run keys were examined
long ago. Don't know where to look for this one now.
Second, The MB is a Gigabyte Ultra-durable P45 and if I do not turn on
the monitor (powered off via power strip) and boot up the system, it
will show a black screen/monitor going to sleep. Nothing will change
that (mouse, keyboard, yelling, screaming). All I can do it either
hit the power or reset buttons to reboot. I've been through the Power
Options in Windows (all at Never) and nothing in the BIOS seems to apply.
Third, I have Tweak UI installed and if I set it for one account to
boot up, it will do that on the next boot, but thereafter, back to the
.net choose your account screen. I go back to Tweak UI and the box
has been unchecked. How do I get it to stray?
This is plain vanilla XP, fully patched, no tweaks of services or
anything else.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks....Steve
