I take it all back!!!!!

Not that anyone has actually read my last post about Windows Vista, but just in case you did (or are about to) please read this......

IT WORKS!!!!! Not only that, but it appears that it had been working the whole time!

Yes I know, what an idiot! After I had finished my last post, I thought I would give it another go..... So I shut down Windows XP and then booted into Windows Vista. Same bloody problem again, the monitor went into standby... BUT and this is the key to the door, the computers hard drive appeared to be ticking over quite happily!

So, I tried pressing the 'Num Lock' key on the computer, and this seemed to respond fine!

Then with 1 single finger, FIXED THE PROBLEM THAT HAS MEANT THAT I HAVE BEEN SITTING HERE SCRATCHING ME HEAD FOR THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF.

I pushed the button on my monitor, that switched it between Analogue and Digital output! As if by magic, the Windows Vista Setup screen appeared!

Now I guess there are a few people out there that are thinking WHAT AN IDIOT! But I do have a good reason why it has taken over a week to find this really, really simple fix to my problem!

For as long as I have had this computer, I have not managed to get Windows XP to display on my monitor in Digital Output! Don't ask me why, probably because it is not capable of doing such a thing etc etc..... but for whatever the reason I have not pushed this button since the first week when I got it.

AND NOW WINDOWS VISTA will not display in anything other than Digitally, not on my computer anyway.

So.... here I am not using Windows Vista Ultimate, and my first impressions are that it is GREAT. I am sold so far!!!!

I am now going to have a good look through it and I will report back my opinions in the next few days!
