re: monitor auto shut-off Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 12:36 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Gerry Kroll (1986 messages posted) Because your monitor is EnergyStar compliant, it powers off when there is no video signal from the computer. There's nothing you can do about that. You might try configuring your computer's BIOS for slow startup. That would normally just be a more exhaustive memory test. This might give your monitor time to warm up. The only other option is to replace the monitor with an LCD screen.
