Monitor doesn't come on after Standby

I use Standby all the time through out the day and over night. Then I hit
the powerbutton and the computer is on in a matter of seconds with the
programs I was using on the monitor ready to go.

Just recently, I haven't installed anything or done anything new - changed
no settings, - the computer comes on when I hit the powerbutton but the
monitor never does.

In the Power Options Properties I have: Turn off monitors, Turn off hard
disks and System Standby all set to Never.
And it's always been like that. Including up to yesterday when the Standby
always turned on the monitor.

Any ideas where I could start to get this fixed?
I did go here: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm to have Live
Care scan my computer and they came up empty handed.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You said you have standby set to never. I suggest you reset your settings
and use the mouse or keyboard to bring it out of standby. Do not use power
on switch. Set both mouse and keyboard to 'allow this device to bring
computer out of standby'.
Set standby after x minutes. You should turn off monitor and hard drives.
 
I tried your suggestion.
Again, the computer is coming on.
No problems there.

The monitor is not coming out of the standby.

It may have something to do with the computer not sending a signal to the
monitors as it comes out of a standby.

Jay,

This is just a shot in the dark, but try going to "Power Options" in
Control Panel and look at the Hybernate tab. If Hybernate is check marked,
uncheck it and then see if your monitor works.

Hybernat is unchecked.
