    Vista black screen

    Allright so I was screwing with vista home premium, playing with the alt-tab eye candy thingy, and i broke vista. This only seems to work with media center open, but i pressed alt + tab + windows logo key and the screen went black with my cursor in the middle.

    All I could think of was "Once your screen goes black, it never goes back"

    So I pressed alt + tab and it went back. OK.... Interesting. So i did it a few more times trying to get a screen capture. Well I did it and this time i heard my monitor click like it turned off. Now it has the message on the screen which moves around and says "Please Check PC Display Settings". Light on the monitor is still green. Well it does nothing now. Gotta hard boot and play with this some more.

    Anyone else able to verify this?

    <chsh> I've read more interesting technical discussion on the wall of a public bathroom than I have at AO at times
