not a major problem, but an annoying and time consuming one.
whenever i play any type of video clip, then hit the sleep button, when i go back to use the computer again i frequently have to shut the power down and restart. sometimes i have to do this twice before it will fire up. occasionally this happens when i shut it down, but its rare.
i should clarify. the machine runs, but the screen remains dark.
the nvidia card is set as the primary video card.
the machine runs fine otherwise.
i have multiple spyware/adware/anti-virus/cleaner progs that i run regularly, so i doubt its any type of virus/trojan/whatever.
i have an e-machine t2200. it came with an s3 porsavage8 video card built in. i added an nvidia mx-440se video card. i'm running XP and the latest WMP. this happened prior to updateing the WMP also.
any ideas what is causing this?
