This problem first turned up in my thread entitled "Now What!!?? Why Me????!!". That thread has since been tossed into oblivion. Rather than revive it, I thought I'd make a new thread asking only about this very odd occurance. The odd occurance occurs whenever I open SpeedFan. It seems to somehow change the settings in the monitor itself. As soon as I open the program the monitor goes really dark. Then, after minute, it goes one step darker. I thought at first that the monitor was going dead. That theory was supposedly reinforced when I hooked the monitor up to my other computer and it was still dark. I have since discovered that hitting the recall button (restores factory defaults) in the menu fixes the monitor. I first discovered this by chance, when the monitor was dark and I couldn't see anything on the screen, by randomly pressing buttons. I can repeat the scenario whenever I want. If I open SpeedFan the screen will go dark. Before it goes too dark I go into the menu and hit recall and everything is fine. Can someone please explain how a program on the computer that supposedly has nothing to do with monitors and has never caused trouble before can mess up the settings on my monitor?
