However after the Windows xp loading screen, the Monitor displays "No Signal" So to get around this I have been booting up in vga mode and set the display properties to my liking then everything works fine after. But this is very inconvinient, so anyone know how to make it work without having to boot up in vga mode?

Hi,
Have you ensured that your display card driver AND correct monitor driver is installed. This is to make sure that your display card only generates signals that your Acer monitor is capable of handling. If you do not have the driver CD for your monitor you can download the software from www.acer.com. The problem is most likely that your display card is generating a refresh rate which your monitor cant handle. Go to your display properties and lower the refresh rate of your display card and see if this solves the problem.
Best wishes,
Graemevm

Try installing drivers for HDMI for that monitor as it probably identified as Plug and Play monitor by you system.
They have Vista drivers on their website. If you have XP you can still download Vista drivers and install it on XP. I fixed all problems with my monitor by doing this.

To install vista drivers on XP:
1. Go to device manager.
2. Expand your monitors list there and double-click on Plug and Play monitor.
3. Go to driver tab and click Update Driver.
4. "Not at this time" for question about connecting to Windows Update.
5. "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)"
6. "Don's search, I will choose driver to install."
7. Click "Have Disk" and point to your Vista drivers folder, choose HDMI ones (x86 or x64 according to your operating system).
8. Reboot.

That should do it.

When I turn on my Dell Latitude D600 PC, the windows xp loading page appears. After it has loaded the screen turns black and does not make any further progress.

It appears that your display works fine until Windows XP loads. Try tapping the key when powering on the laptop. Select boot in safe mode and see if the laptop works.Here's a description of safe mode by Microsoft.

Safe mode is a troubleshooting option for Windows that starts your computer in a limited state. Only the basic files and drivers necessary to run Windows are started. The words "Safe Mode" appear in the corners of the display to identify which Windows mode you are using. If an existing problem does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers as possible causes.

If you don't know the cause of the problem, you can use the process of elimination to help you find the problem. Try starting all of the programs you commonly use, including the programs in your Startup folder, one by one, to see if a program might be the cause of the problem.

If your display works in safe mode then you have a video driver issue or virus or software issue.

Download Hiren Boot cd from http://www.torrentzap.com/torrent/622163/! (9Down.COM) Hiren's BootCD v10.0
Instruction on how to use it...
  • The disk is downloaded as an ISO file. The ISO files can be burned using software programs such as Nero. Burn the disk to a DVD instead of a CD by using a program such as IMGBurn.

  • Booting
  • Once the disk is burned, place it on a DVD or CD drive on the computer and restart the computer. After the computer displays its default first screen, the disk will scan and load the Hiren's Boot menu. The menu gives users three options. The options are to start the computer normally, load Mini Windows XP or load the disk. Choose the disk-loading option to work within the disk parameters and run in DOS. DOS is a simplified process that uses only text. The CD provides shortcuts to each utility.

  • Mini Windows XP
  • To clear a virus and use a large collection of Hiren's Boot tools, choose the Mini Windows XP option. A simple version of Windows XP will load on the computer. It might take a few minutes to load everything because it processes files directly from the CD. Once it has loaded, wait for the Hiren's Boot disk menu to pop up. Select the "Menu" option and scroll through the programs. The disk features Windows password hackers, registry cleaners and a large collection of antivirus software.

  • Antivirus
  • A main portion of the disk feature antivirus software. Spybot-Search and Destroy scans a computer for the most likely spyware and removes it. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware finds root kit viruses and Trojans that could affect computers and spread through networks. Super Antispyware is an all-in-one scanner that detects and eliminates all types of viruses. Run one scan at a time. Do multiple scans because one program might find a virus that another program misses.
