re: Lights, Action, No Desktop. Friday, June 27, 2008 at 5:58 pm Windows 95 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bruce King (5 messages posted) No, Jacob, I don't, but just to make sure, I swapped connections to vice versa and nothing would turn on at all. What drives me nuts is that EVERYTHING'S ON! The drive indicator light is ON and so is that of the monitor. I push the Start button on the display and the one to activate the hard drive, the lights blink on and the monitor remains blank. I'm worried that it is something so basic to a PC (I've only used Mac's) that noone mentions it because it doesn't even occur to them. They've done it so long, it's not included in conscious thought any more. Is there some starting sequence the operator has to go through? I'm stymied because, though a Windows novice, I'm not dumb. I've checked everything until I'm cross-eyed. It has to be either a malfunction (which seems most unlikely since I saw the display working when I picked it up) or it's something super elementary I'm not doing that noone's thought of. Thanks for the idea. It was worth trying. bruce On Friday, June 27, 2008 at 3:40 pm, Jacob6601 wrote: >You don't, by chance, have the mouse and keyboard plugs swapped? Do not trust any >color coding.
