Windows 7 only displays on Apple monitor in safe mode

Post by katymacadamia »

Hello - I recently installed Windows 7 on my fit-pc2 but it only displays on my 20-inch Apple Cinema Display when I boot up into Safe Mode (it displays perfectly in Normal Mode on a borrowed Samsung monitor however). Can anyone suggest how I might get it to work on my Apple monitor?

I installed the Windows 7 video driver that was released on 5 July. And this same Apple monitor displayed perfectly with Windows XP that was running fine on my fit-pc2 until I installed the new OS...

Many thanks in advance.

Make sure LCD clock is set to enabled in BIOS.
In Windows 7 you can boot in VGA mode and change display settings from there.

Many thanks for your reply. I pressed F2 at bootup and had a good hunt through the BIOS - but there is nothing I could see containing "LCD clock" - the only sub-menu relating to Video was talking about memory. My fit-pc2 isn't that new (BIOS date is 07/21/09). Is there anything else I could try?

Many thanks for your time.

Hi.

You can find the "LCD Clock" option in the "Extra" menu in the BIOS.
Change this option to "Enabled".

Hi.

Your BIOS doesn't contain "LCD CLock" option. In this BIOS revision, "LCD Clock" is enabled permanently.
