well that didn't work either!
I did pay attention as to what fires up before it goes dark...
goes thru Dell logo, then the windows splash screen where I log on, then out go the lights!
Starting to drive me bonkers just on principal!
ah well.... you have all given it more than enough attention, but we may be beaten!
I am convinced it is all going on happily behind a dark screen. The monitor that switches to "low power" is hiding the entire process from me, and despite much fiddling with the arrangement I have been defeated!
I will no doubt keep fiddling about.....
cheers
