Hello

·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

·         You get the error message?

·         Did you check the connection of the cable to the monitor?

·         Have you tried to update to the latest graphics card and motherboard chipset drivers?

First, try to connect your monitor to a well known PC, maybe the old laptop that you use now. If the monitor works, the problem is with the video card in your PC. If the monitor does not light, the monitor. It is usually cheaper to buy a new monitor that in order to be an old repaired, unless the monitor is still under warranty.

Try connecting a monitor well known to your PC. If the monitor works, your old monitor is fried and needs to be replaced.

If your monitor works when connected to another PC, the problem could be your video card. First, and then you turn on your PC, the power and cooling case fans run they. If they do not, it could be the power supply.

Then, open the computer case. Before you do anything inside, unplug the power supply.

IMPORTANT! Touch any metal part of the computer case to connect to the PC. A single static spark can destroy computer circuits.

If the video card is the type of card that plugs into a slot on the motherboard, remove the screws or attached at the top of the card, remove the card, to manipulate the card by the edges to avoid disturbing the circuits on the card, carefully and re - install the card. Sometimes simply reinstalling the card corrects the problem.

If this does not work, replace the video card with a card of similar type. Perhaps now is the right time for an update of video card.

If the video card is integrated into the motherboard, you can install a new card in one of the PCI slots on the motherboard. When the PC starts for the first time, go into the bios and disable the onboard video.

  • Whenever I start my computer, it says to reinstall the Module of the Sonic Activation. I have to click Cancel several times before the he will allow me to use my computer.

    It seems that nobody has a way to get rid of this 'Module of Activation Sonic' because there is no listed corrections.

    Contact support Sonic. This has nothing to do with the upgrade and activation of Windows XP installation.

  • at the start, computer turn on and off several times before finally starting

    Product: Hp Pavilion M9177C-B

    OS: Vista Edition Home Premium

    Approximately 2 weeks, when you start the computer by pressing the Start button, blue starting light turns on, then turns off maybe 6 + times before it turns finally for good and then I can hear the hard drives being accuated.  I fear that one of those moments that she not turn for good. So, I took the computer on at all times and just close the devices.

    Hello slodave,

    As you hear hard drives or anything on the spot for a while, it seems that the problem may be due to your diet.

    You can look at the power Panel there should be a light on the subject. See if it shows that it begins well before the computer actually turns on (so it comes at the time 6 + it is turn on/off).

    If the food will then replace just to continue normal operation.

  • How to use a function switch box to the reference that is used several times in the previous drop-down list options?

    I use JavaScript coding in LiveCycle and development of dependent drop-down areas, but I find it difficult to write correct code. See the example below. I'm trying to use a multiple box function that refers to an option that is listed several times in the previous pull-down menu. The problem I am running into is that when I refer to any color or Nissan and Chevy, it returns the results of the color in the "Ford" column only. I'll always see color (blue, black, green and purple) options in my second drop-down list and it seems fine, but then the third drop reference only the options and colors 'Ford '. (I don't have the code for the third menu list drop-down).

    I want the client to choose Chevy or Nissan and have her drop downs (based on the color they chose)-dependent, but I can't seem to make this work.

    I hope it is clear enough (probably as mud...). I would appreciate help!

    Form1. #subform [0]. #subform [1]. cboModels::exit - (JavaScript, client)

    cboColor.clearItems ();

    cboColor.addItem ("Blue");

    cboColor.addItem ("Black");

    cboColor.addItem ("Green");

    cboColor.addItem ("Purple");

    break;

    case 'Chevy ':

    cboColor.addItem ("Blue");

    You can use '\n' for newline in a string, so

    "Option 1, \nOption 2, \nOption 3;

    Put each on its own line.

    Please make sure that your graphics card and Lightroom 6 are up-to-date. Latest version of Lightroom is 6.4.

    Please check the FAQ and troubleshooting of Adobe Lightroom GPU and disable the use of the GPU in Lightroom.

  • don't forget the select result of a statement to be used several times in the procedure

    Hi all

    I'm sorry for this kind of question, I'm not newbie, but still need your help.

    My need is remember the select result of a statement to be used several times in the procedure.

    My first guess is to use a temporary table, but I think there's better decisions.

    For example, I should make a heavy request

    Select the code from table_function (param1)

    Then, this query is used to insert a list of the id in table1, delete table2 and update in table 3.

    Help me please do not use if possible temporary tables.

    If there is more than one column, you need to create an object type at the database level. Create a collection of this type of object in the procedure.

    Example:

    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "OBJ1" as OBJECT(
            column1 varchar2(256 CHAR),
            column2 varchar2(35 CHAR)
            );
    
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "nt_obj1" as table of OBJ1; -- this could be done at procedure level as well
    
    DECLARE
       t_employee_ids   nt_obj1;
    BEGIN
       SELECT OBJ1(column1,column2)
         BULK COLLECT INTO  t_employee_ids
         FROM table1
        WHERE column3 = NNN
    .............
    .....
