Charlie Shugart Offline • • • • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) Resolved- but I don't know what I did to resolve it, so I can't take credit . HELP! I've been an FMer for a couple of years- but I'm not a technically-oriented person, which is why I don't fool with basic computer settings. This problem first happened two weeks ago and lasted two days. It happened again yesterday and is still there. I have no idea what caused it because I was just doing my normal thing (looking at posts that interested me). It is this: I open a post (including my own). It appears on the monitor as usual. Within a couple of seconds the whole thing jiggles (sort of like a quick blink). A few seconds after that, my monitor goes white. When I hit the back arrow, it goes back to the post, and then goes white again. When I hit the back arrow- and then hit it again, it goes back two steps to the board I was looking at- and stays there. One more thing- I can post my own images. I just can't look at (or respond to) any posts at all. Please- how do I fix this? Please respond by PM because I can't open an individual post.

Bsmooth Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) I'm having the same issue, and now can't look at any posts at all. I'm using IE7, but it was working fine a week ago, whats going on? I basically can't look at anything here any longer. Dec 02, 2011 at 02:43 PM

EB-1 Offline • • • • • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) I am not having any problems. Which browser are you using and have you tried different browsers? EBH Dec 02, 2011 at 06:46 PM

Bsmooth Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) As I stated in the email, I'm using WinXP Internet Explorer 7, and I only use Google. But I can log into the FM forums fine, its just when I open a thread that I'm having this problem. As I said a week ago (approximatly) I had no problems, so somethings changed here I think. I'll try it at home where I use Win7 64 bit and Google as well. In case your wondering how I posted this, I had to be very quick to hit the Post button,I probably only have 2 seconds or less to do it. Dec 02, 2011 at 07:36 PM

Jefferson Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) Question: is this specific to this fourm (website), or is this a general problem for all video display on your computer...have you tried a different monitor or computer? I'm asking because I'm working on a couple laptops that give the same symtoms, a quick flicker, cursor hesitation, then white screen. The problem I'm working with is a graphic chip problem on a Dell XPS M1530 and is related to bad solder flow at the pins on the Nvidia chip set on the mother board.

Bsmooth Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) Nope just this site, and on my PC running Win7 at home it works fine.As I said something changed, maybe the site decided not to be compatible with older versions of Internet Explorer. Its a company PC, but as I said it worked fine a week or two ago, its just recent. Dec 03, 2011 at 03:58 AM

Charlie Shugart Offline • • • • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) I only recently was told how to deal with my white screen problem: as soon as my screen flickers- I click the red X near the top. If I time it right, the post stays on-screen. If it goes white, I click the left arrow and then try the red X again when it flickers. The only photo forum I use besides FM is Nat Geo, and I have no problem there. I don't have any other problems with my 3-4 year old computer. I also use Internet Explorer.

photoman333 Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) It almost sounds like an aggressive ad is not being completely blocked by the pop-up blocker - the window opens but the page doesn't load. Dec 10, 2011 at 12:50 AM

Charlie Shugart Offline • • • • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) Thanks all for the input. I haven't solved the problem, but I switched from Google to Yahoo! and I don't have the problem, although I've lost my e-mail capability somewhere. Life ain't easy. Charlie Dec 10, 2011 at 08:15 PM

davalan Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) I had this exact same problem. The only way I could stop the screen going white was to click on the red cross. Now, just today it's stopped happening and things are back to normal. I wonder what it was? David Dec 21, 2011 at 09:58 PM

vilimo Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) When you have the white screen, can you switch/toggle screen / window by pressing "alt" and "tab" keys? If you can do this, you may be able to minimize it and then close that unwanted window/screen by right clicking your mouse. Dec 21, 2011 at 10:24 PM

Bsmooth Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · Help! White screen- (Resolved) Yes it has stopped today, a mysterious fix, or something that isn't loading now possibly? Whatever it was its a great Xmas gift for all who had issues. Dec 22, 2011 at 02:31 PM
