Solved: Screen goes black when logging off
My laptop screen goes black when I choose to log off or switch user. I have to restart the computer to turn on the monitor again. Does anybody know what the issue could be? I'm using Vista.

1. Try another monitor, this will tell you if the problem is with the monitor or Vista.

2. Upgrade the video driver.

I plugged my laptop into an external monitor. It worked then, and I unplugged it and tried again and now it works every time!

Thank you
