[QUOTE="cheetah05, post: 161412, member: 19628"] Sorry I think I am confusing you at the moment - and me too! Ok forget anything I have said above. I have other issues, but I want to tackle them one at a time now to avoid confusion. --------------------- I use MST and have the advanced features [b]disabled[/b] and therefore [b]it doesn't[/b] stop Media Portal when going to Standby and open it again when coming out of standby. The problem is, that when it comes out of standby, all I get is a blank (black) screen. The monitor is 100% definitely on and definitely receiving a signal from the VGA output (I have tested this). Media Portal is definitely open as when I press the down button on my remote, I have hear it scrolling. This must be an issue with either the graphics card or the software itself (from my powers of deduction - I could be wrong). I use an ATI graphics card (ATI Xpress 200) - so I am wondering if it is a problem with a setting on this graphics card that won't display the Media Portal screen. Maybe it could be something to do with overlay settings - I don't know much about graphics cards so I don't really know what I am talking about, but I am pretty sure it might be an issue to do with my graphics card, or the settings of. What do you think? What graphics card do you have? Thanks for all your help by the way :) --------------------- By the way, I understand your login of testing on a different PC, the problem is that I have different hardware in my main PC so it would be pointless, because what could work on this PC and PC Montior, may not work on my HTPC and my TV. --------------------- EDIT: My HTPC is really starting to irritate me now, it's so temperamental. Sometimes it does something, I try to replicate it with exactly the same actions and I can't. It seems that it will come out of Standby fine now. Ill report back again later after a bit of playing. --------------------- EDIT: OK I have just managed to replicate again. I think it only happens after the computer has been in standby for a while.
