Let me start with my system, as I do not know what info might be necessary to analyze this problem.
I am the owner and only user on a non-networked home PC. I have full permissons, built the computer myself and installed all my own software.
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe Motherboard
P4 3.2 processer
2Gig DDR ram
Radeon 9800 XT graphic card
Adaptec 29320 SCSI card
2 SCSI 320 hard drives
Hitachi CM751 19" CRT Monitor
Windows XP Home Ed
Norton Antivirus/System Works 2004
Spybot S&D, Ad-aware
Please note: I do keep every program, the OS, drivers, etc, updated. And I run my utilites frequently. I can find no error messages, no viruses or spyware, and I have no other hard or software issues.
Finally-- the problem:
Whether I am on or off line, if I use Java web start, my monitor goes black. But the odd thing is, if I use my mouse, to grab a hold of an open window, and move that window around the desktop, the window acts like an eraser, removing the black from the monitor.
I have only encountered one on line problem which produces this black monitor state, and it is occuring on a web site's chat room. I imagine it uses Java.
I can not find any info about this on the Java web site, nor do I see this particular issue posted anywhere else on the techtv message boards.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this conflict or problem, and how I might resolve it (other than simply not using Java Web Start)?
