Hello,
I just wiped and reinstalled xp pro. Everything was running good. I have
a laptop with a screen that probably has a burned out backlight or
transformer or some such, so it's on a dock and I'm using an external
monitor. I tried to install the SP2 and everything seemed fine. After the
reboot, all I got on the external monitor is the desktop background pic. No
start menu. No files that were previously on desktop. Figuring I messed
something up I went back to a previous save point and tried to figure out
what I did wrong. Posted on here but didn't get anywhere. So I tried again.
Same thing, but before I reboot I looked at the screen of the laptop -
besides being extremely dim it looks good. I go and get a flashlight. yep,
looks like all is well with the computer, just won't send anything but the
desktop background to the external monitor. So here I sit with headlamp on
trying to figure out how to get the monitor to work again. Any thoughts?
Besides that I look rediculous?
