Sleep Mode and or Monitor problem
« on: June 20, 2008, 08:42:38 PM »
Gateway Comp running XP with a Dell Flatscreen.  When it's turned on it says in Sleep Mode and then turns black.  Can't get to the start button or anything else. Monitor light is green at first, then turns orange.  I thought I'd try another monitor but if comp is stuck in sleep mode what then?

Try pressing F8 on startup and changing back to Normal Startup?
