On 19th March, Rob Sprowson came to the Midlands User Group
meeting to demonstrate and talk about his Titanium-based
computer. Being a helpful sort of bloke, I volunteered my
pair of LG Flatron monitors so that he could demonstrate
the dual-DVI video head on the motherboard.
Well, no good deed goes unpunished!
After the meeting, I reconnected the monitors to my
graphics card and switched on. After the Windows 7 splash
screen (the swirling coloured balls) the monitors went
blank. The machine carried on booting as far as I could
tell (and it did).
I've tried and tried to get it to boot normally but could
only get it to boot in Safe Mode. To cut a long story
short, today I removed the graphics card and reconnected
the monitors to the motherboard. Hallelujah! It worked.
After updating Kaspersky, GWX Control Panel and Windows (in
that order), I uninstalled everything to do with the
graphics card, ran CCleaner, rebooted and moved the AMD
folder from the C: drive to another drive. Reboot again.
Time to run VRPC. Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!
"Acorn RiscPC Emulator with RISC OS Adjust has stopped
working"
The offer to check on line for a solution proved fruitless
so I copied the problem details which I include below. I
got the same result with my backup copy of the whole
installation which was on an external USB HDD.
I hope the information below is less impenetrable to
someone else than it is to me. I'm sure I've seen it before
but I just can't remember where or when or what the
solution was.
All suggestions will be gratefully received.
John
