Monitor blanks after dialin to provider

[kashew]

I am experiencing a very weird problem. My monitor will blank out with the green power light blinking when I am dialed in to my internet provider. This does does not occur when I'm not connected to the provider.

All power saving modes in bios and Windows ME have been turned off. Has anyone experienced such a problem?

I think this is caused by an incorrect video driver. Have you tried another video card?

I don't have another card available. Before I purchase one, I thought I'd ask in the forum to see if it could be anything else .... like Windows ME.

so....after you are connected the monitor turns back on?
go into device manager and make sure all device are working properly. if there is an ! on a device, there is a problem with it. sounds like the modem is conflicting with the video card. try moving the modem to a different slot, this will reassign IRQ's. darn i hate pesky problems like this.
