Exclamation Grey screen when monitor is first powered up
Hey PCHF, how you doing? When i first power up the PC (for instance this morning) the monitor will display a grey screen instead of the XEROX logo, although it is working now, when i turn it off and then on again it displays the XEROX logo as normal. Is there anything i can do to correct this?

Hey MG, Does it work ok when it doesn't show the Xerox spalsh, I mean does it move past the grey screen automatically...or does it just stay on the grey screen until you switch it off/on again?

How old is the monitor?

Yea...MG is right...at least he's taking action when he knows something has changed

Is it CRT or LCD?
