my monitor problems
One of my co-workers had this to say about the problem with Hub's monitor:
Mickey is a twisted individual. Still, here's hoping that my doppleganger on the other side of the sun isn't able to read my email. :-)
So, although you believe that you solved the problem, this is not actually true (your doppleganger, existing on the far side of the sun, is now struggling to understand why her computer only works when the monitor is off).
The actual situation that you have described is the inverse schroedinger's win98 gambit (later prototyped in LINUX under the code name "cat in the Red Hat").
THe machine is neither on nor off until you monitor it. The observer effect of quantum physics was incorporated into microsofts code back in 1997 (although mostly to exploit the little documented "bill casimir" effect of grafting money out of what we call "vacuum energy", often left behind in your wallet or pocketbook after puchasing a pc).
And, although many believe that our mitochondrial dna map quantum tunneling/wormhole devices, do NOT let the cat, out of the proverbial (x)box or bag.
