Have you added your own aftermarket graphics card? If so, you will need to take the Monitor connection and change it to the Motherboards built in connector in order to reconfigure your machine. If you do have an added card, I would recommend removing it then installing Windows. Then once Windows is configured, add your card and go through the normal driver install for the card.

Try Plugging an External VGA into the laptop, your video drivers might be causing a problem.

An Armada IS a laptop isn't it, DOH!

Sorry about that, yes you should try ading a monitor, your graphics may be set as dual display or monitor output.

Also, try using the Fn Key along with the F key for the monitor selection to change the output.

Again, ooops, sorry.

Your supposed to post Technical Questions to the Technical Q&A thread not the Discussion Forum!

This is YOUR bad not mine! :-)

I think it's OK to let you go the first time but next time.... I'm telling you ...Boom Zoom to the moon lady!

Hope you got that little critter off your splash screens.

This is getting bad now :-P

You aren't the person with the critter on the screen, you have the notebook! Ok now I'm with it again, hope you get that screen to come on !

I'm just gonna crawl back into my corner now, sorry bout that.
