Default Display problem
Does anyone know a fix for this split screen problem. This happens every now and then.The only way I've been able to fix it is to shut down the computer for 4 hours or so .

XP I turned the computer off and back and it's back to normal. This usually doesn't solve the problem.

Right click on My Computer, go to Properties, Hardware, Device Manager, Display Adapters. Should be listed under there.

Ahh.. so is it a laptop with an external monitor? If so, do you close the lid to the laptop while the machine is powered on?

In order to find the right bios version, we'll have to use the model number located on the bottom of the machine:

No external monitor Closing the lid does sometimes cause the split screen

ok.. try updating your video driver, reboot, then try to recreate the problem. XP has a hard time with monitor switches.. more so than Windows7. (I only run XP on my machines)
Do you have a function key that has CRT/LCD on it? Like one of the "F" keys along the top?

Default Re: Display problem
It looks like the display button on your laptop might be F2.. is there a picture of what looks like a monitor on it? If so, next time your machine does the split screen thingy, hold the Fn Key (bottom row, second from left.. in between the Ctrl key and the Windows key) and while holding it, press the F key that has a picture of the monitor. You may have to do this 3 times, it will probably turn your monitor black the first couple times.
What this does is make your notebook 'seek' for different display devices (external monitor, projector etc..) and when it does this it sets the resolution to the correct setting.
A silly work around but better than rebooting. I will see if I can find a better fix but from my days as a tech, I remember coming across this a few times on XP notebooks.
