The monitor may turn on unexpectedly when an unattended task occurs on a Windows Vista-based computer

SYMPTOMS

On a Windows Vista-based computer, certain unattended tasks may cause the monitor to turn on unexpectedly. On a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, these same unattended tasks do not cause the monitor to turn on. For example, the monitor may turn on when a Windows Vista-based computer receives a fax. However, the monitor does not turn on when a Windows XP-based computer receives a fax.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
