Monitor cannot find signal form computer...

My computer has been stored on a unit of storage for 10 months, I plugged in everything and the screen has now no picture. I tested the screen with my laptop and it works fine, when I turn it on with the computer running it starts fine, but it displays a saing messenge no signal and turns black.

Can you help to try to solve this problem?

Thank you

Hi Paulo,

1. do you think the initial splash screen, the BIOS or the manufacturer logo screen?

This is perhaps due to the incorrect or not updated display on the monitor resolution.

First start the computer in safe mode.

Steps to start in safe mode
1 restart your computer if it is running.
2. press the F8 key after your initially on powers computer.
3. Once you see the menu Advanced Startup Options , you can stop tapping.
4. use the up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
5. Select Safe Mode and press enter.
6. you should see loading drivers and wait please.
7. you should then be at the Welcome screen.
8. connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.

Start your computer in safe mode

Restart the computer to return to normal mode

After you start the computer in safe mode, you will need to lower the resolution of the screen and check.

1. open the display settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then clicking display settings.
2. in the resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then click on apply.

Change the screen resolution

See also the manual of the monitor for the resolution of the screen taken in charge.

I hope this helps!

I've uninstalled and reinstalled already to find the option icon on the desktop, but there is not. What should I do?

  • Cannot find the "My Computer" icon; I have icon "Computer" but it is NOT THE SAME as "My Computer"... Help!

    I'm looking for the "My Computer" icon. I do not have the icon workstation; I made the different "tasks and tips" to supposedly turn on and I DO HAVE ICON CALLED 'COMPUTER' ON MY DESKTOP.  However, 'COMPUTER' is not equal to ' MY COMPUTER ' on this system.

    The 'My Computer', I want TO open a box with the usual File, Edit, View, Favorites, tools, and help under the blue bar containing the words 'My Computer' and the image of the icon in the left corner.   I want to choose 'Tools' that will 'gray out', the 'back' and 'forward' buttons and leaves an icon file with blue-green arrow pointing to the sky, research (with the microscope icon), folders (with the icon files) and a multi-dropdown button in the next line of command icons.  Below, is address, which should show the icon and the words of my computer.  Under the present is called 'Folder Options' box with 3 three topics on the left: tasks system, other places, and details. the first item under details, Workstation should be written in bold black.  On the upper area of the Folder Options, there are 4 four tabs: general, opinion, Types of files and offline files.  In the 'View' tab, I should be able to see the views of folders on top with 2 two buttons (apply to all records and reset all folders) and a list drop down in the bottom; advanced settings one of these subfolders in advanced settings should be: files and folders hidden.  I should be able to select that subfolder and get two 2 options: do not show the hidden files and folders and Show hidden files and folders, I would choose.

    The "Computer" icon that appears is called 'Computer' and opens the box with options to organize, System properties, uninstall or change a program, map network drive, and open the Panel control and it shows different drives on the computer, devices, network, and other information.

    Can someone tell me PLEASE how to access "My Computer"?  And, if it is a really stupid question, I apologize in advance.  But I've looked everywhere I know to look and I'm not.  Thank you very much.

    So the answer to my question is, "Yes, * I * am coming from an older operating system."  (I was wondering if your experience which has been remote or not).

    The problem is that many of the features of the file Explorer (it is really what we're talking about here) / appearance changed with Vista / Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1 in the ~ 13 years since the release of Windows XP you are looking at the example of what it should look like you.  ;-)

    The 'my computer' in Windows XP does not exist (as it was in Windows XP.)  The look of crayola disappeared.

    Click on 'Tools' (after you press ALT while in 'Computer' and carries it) and choose "Folder Options".

    • Always show menus
    • File to display on the photos icon
    • Displays the size of file in folder tips
    • Display the full path in the title bar (Classic theme only)

    • Hide the protégés of the files of the operating system (recommended)
    • Windows folders in a separate process of launch
    • See drive letters
    • See the encrypted or NTFS compressed color
    • View the description of pop-up for the folder and desktop items
    • The Wizard (recommended) sharing
    • Select the element type in the view

    Once these are the only elements to be activated, click on 'Apply' at the bottom and then click "Apply to folders" to the top of the window and then click 'OK' at the bottom.

    The top of the 'Computer' window, choose 'View' and see if there is a check mark next to the "Status bar" in the menu drop-down selection.  If it is, leave it alone (press ESC on your keyboard) if it is not one, click it.  The next time you select the 'View' menu, there should be a checkmark next to the "status bar".

    One step at a time.

    Also, I would also like to make these windows xp and windows live units communicate with each other in my home group.

    Bill enjoy life

    Hello

    I suggest you to check the physical connection that is connected to your computer?
    I suggest you to follow the steps and check.

    No input Signal message.

    Cause

    This problem may be caused by one of the options below.

    1. Monitor not connected correctly.
    2. Faulty hardware

    Solution

    Monitor not connected correctly

    Verify that the monitor is connected to the back of the screen, as well as the back of the computer.

    If the monitor seems to be connected correctly, check that a cable is not loose by disconnecting any cables that may be disconnected at the back of the screen (usually the data cable cannot be disconnected). Then unplug the data cable connected to the back of the computer, and then reconnect the cable. By connecting the cable to the back of the computer, ensure that the cable connection is strained. Most computers will also have the ends of screws that can be screwed to keep the connector in place.

    Faulty hardware

    If the connections look OK, unfortunately it is likely that the monitor or the computer graphics card is bad. To test this component is bad, either connect a different monitor to your computer or connect your monitor to another computer.

  • After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

    After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  • Cannot find reg.exe on my computer

    Hello

    I have windows XP. A new program wants as reg.exe. But cannot find this file. Can I download from microsoft and install it on the computer. The new software willnot load without it.

    Thank you

    Reg.exe must exist in the c:\windows\system32 directory.  If she's not here, I see no reason why you couldn't copy it from another computer in Windows XP and put right there.  The fact he hasn't led to suspicions of malicious software on your computer, so it wouldn't hurt to do a scan for Malware with a tool like the freeware Malwarebytes.

    Hi Stephdan,

    1. have you done any hardware changes or software on your computer before this problem?

    2. Why are you trying to fix the computer?

    It would be possible that the Windows XP installation disc is damaged.

    (a) you can try to do a Windows XP disk which should correspond to the same edition, as it is installed on your machine.

    (b) later, try to repair the installation and check if you are able to boot to the desktop normally.

    Perform a repair Installation


    Note:
    however, you should not have Service Pack 3 installed on the computer before you run repair installation.

    Hope the helps of information.
    Please post back and we do know.

    Hi Roger,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find the answers related to Windows.

    According to the description it looks as you receive an error message when you connect to the computer.

    This problem occurs because of the scheduled task or as a result of a software conflict on your computer.

    I suggest you perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

    Clean boot will check if any third-party application is causing the problem, as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    How to solve problems using the clean boot in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: once the diagnosis has been made, make sure that you reset the computer as usual

    Keep us informed on the status of the issue.
