Does anyone get a "white screen" during load up? The monitor flashes entirely white for a random length of time and then returns to normal.

For some reason lately I am getting this and it is irritating. I am wondering if my drivers are needing updating.

no white screen but I do get a "connecting" prompt that lasts for what seems like forever

I was getting that for a while on my Vista box, before upgrading to 7. I don't think it had anything to do with the Vista-7 update, though other than that cleared a bunch of registry crap and generally cleaned garbage out of the system and prompted a reload of addons and things like that.

So, I guess that statement was mostly un-helpful. At any rate, I guess it could be related to addons or video drivers. If you disable all of your addons and then load up, do you still get that white screen? In order to test this, you may have to actually remove your "addons" and your "WTF" directory from the WoW folder so that they aren't actually there at boot-up.

If that doesn't fix it, I would guess the next step was the video drivers, or maybe even a chipset driver if there is some communications failure between the video card and mobo that was affected by the last patch...

So, I guess that statement was mostly un-helpful.

Watchers at home, this is what sleep deprivation does to otherwise healthy adults. Every year, millions of people are affected by this disorder. Their lives are thrown into disarray, concentration broken, random statements just come out of nowhere. Some of them have even been observed to play online games while standing up, with no vent connection. Won't you please help by donating to find a cure for this mysterious affliction? Your donations are channeled into research to help interpret baby speech, build automated baby entertainment units and develop special sound proofing insulation and hearing aids which can help screen out baby crying when they're crying for no identifiable reason.

Please. Think of the adults.

I think Hom should loan Baby Hom to Agnes to help her get past her "life changes".

I have had no problem. Maybe it's cake interference.

Mine does that when I load up on my laptop, and only when I am windowed.

Windowed!

Burninghair, I will forgive your pie fetish; as I believe that you have solved my problem.
