Some monitors (usually older ones) just don't handle going in and out of standby well. One of mine needs to be turned off then on before it can be used again. If you have windows 98 go into control panel under settings and check that the power options there are set to turn off the monitor or go into standby NEVER and set the power scheme to always on.
