Compaq Screen Does Not Wake Up After EnergyStar Shutdown (132886)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q132886

SYMPTOMS

When you try to "wake up" your computer after Advanced Power Management (APM) has shut down the screen, the screen may remain in sleep mode. To re-activate the screen you must turn the computer off and back on.

CAUSE

This problem can occur with Compaq computers using the Cirrus Logic 54xxx video chip set because of a conflict between APM and the computer's BIOS.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:
  • Do not enable APM in the computer's CMOS settings.
  • Do not inform Windows 95 that the monitor is EnergyStar compliant.
  • Disable APM in Device Manager in Windows 95.
  • Contact Compaq about obtaining a BIOS upgrade.
