When you select an application or game that uses the full screen (ie, no task bar), it clicks off momentarily then comes back on in full screen mode. There is an audible click and when you have finished it does the same. I have recently put together a 667mhz P3 system and want to use the M50 monitor, as the old IBM one I have is on its last legs. It recognised the M50 monitor, but when you go to play a game, it clicks as before, then a message comes on screen momentarily about confirming monitor settings, then it stays off, like it is in standby. I have been to the HP site and downloaded a driver for it, but it made no difference. The agp card is an Nvidia tnt2 model 64, if that helps any. Any ideas out there? GG	Guest (0)

I am just running standard P&P drivers. I know win 2k & ME have driver support for the M50's. I have played plenty of games with this setup without issue. Have you tried adjusting your refresh rate?? My video card is a GeForce 2 sh pro with nvidia 1290 drivers as these seem to give the best performance and reliability. I hope this was of some help in narrowing down your problem.	Guest (0)

Recently my system went a little pear-shaped, so it required a reinstall of XP, meaning all the drivers I had went bye byes, and now I am running the monitor on P&P drivers, not happy. Now I know for a fact the M50 can be run with proper drivers on XP, except I cannot remember how I did it. It didn't involve driver hacks or changing the files physically, I know that much. If anyone figures it out, it would be much appreciated! Syntax	Syntax (325)
