The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
This article was previously published under Q264525 If this article does not describe your hardware-related issue, please see the following Microsoft Web site to view more articles about hardware: SYMPTOMS
When you try to use Standby mode while you are recording (capturing) video by using Movie Maker or VideoWave III from a digital video camera that is attached to the 1394 port, your monitor may become blank almost immediately. However, within several seconds, your monitor display may be restored.
CAUSE
This problem can occur because Windows Millennium Edition (Me) turns off the display before all devices and programs are queried to determine if it is safe to enter Standby mode. After this occurs, a driver or program may determine that it is not safe to use Standby mode, so Windows Me does not use Standby mode, and turns the display on.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, do not try to use Standby mode when you are capturing video, or stop the video capture, and then use Standby mode.
