Title: 0.9z-8.3a: Black screen Post by: CaOd on March 15, 2013, 10:45:21 pm Hi there,
after installing 0.9z-8-3a and activating properly, I clicked on XTweaks Ultimate and clicked on Minimizing OS. After Rebooting, Windows started up normally, but after briefly showing my desktop, the screen turned all black, not letting me allow doing anything. My system is now screwed up, even a hard reset just replicates the procedure. Any help before throwing the computer out of the window? Thanks Carsten :( Title: Re: 0.9z-8.3a: Black screen Post by: PeterSt on March 15, 2013, 10:48:53 pm Uhm ... Carsten, if this Windows 7 or Windows 8 ?

Title: Re: 0.9z-8.3a: Black screen Post by: PeterSt on March 15, 2013, 11:06:31 pm On your MacBook Pro, right ? (looking at your sig)
Hmm ... Okay, I guess it really is too late here to provide any real service. But I should be able to help you tomorrow through email. Is that bad ? How many hours from now will you be up (or ready for it) again ? (say me 9 from now). Sorry for your troubles ...

I am on hour behind you and I have to do the grocery shopping for the family in the morning, so at around 10am your time I will be available to work on it. Any help is appreciated!!
Yes, it is the Macbook Pro in a dual boot environment, I can still access the MAC system and deactivate the Windows boot sectors, but then I have to do a fresh install of the Win system and I try to avoid that. I cannot access a BIOS, since that is an EFi system. Might be possible to get some Unix hacks to change settings. So far I never had real problems and the system was running stable with XXHE in any mode, minimized and XTweaks applied according to your signature settings.

I rebooted to Windows and simply hit some keys on the keyboard... And the desktop screen came back, very shallow, but back to be able to manoeuver the mouse and click to whatever I wanted. XX is running properly and we can work from here to see if we can get rid of the black screen somehow, I can revert the minimized OS mode and everything, just tell me what is the best approach.
Title: Re: 0.9z-8.3a: Black screen Post by: PeterSt on March 16, 2013, 09:57:55 am How difficult is it to get the screen back to visible levels ? I mean, could it be a standard procedure after a boot (but then with somewhat more light in it :)) ?
Title: Re: 0.9z-8.3a: Black screen Post by: CaOd on March 16, 2013, 10:39:57 am I would prefer this not being the standard procedure (and I donīt remember the keys any longer...), my wife would be lost in operating it and I still like her to be able to run the show when I am abroad (although I have bought a CD transport lately to ease up for her...)
So, if you have any idea how to get back to normal I would appreciate. Thanks Carsten Title: Re: 0.9z-8.3a: Black screen Post by: CaOd on March 16, 2013, 12:20:55 pm Peter,
I guess my problem has to do with my operating system software and is totally (or more or less) unrelated to XXHighend, it looks like it just by coincedence occured yesterday with the upgrade to 8.3a. You were right, it has to do with the energy options. I will try to solve it one of these days, so far I can live with the workaround. Thanks Carsten ;) Title: Re: 0.9z-8.3a: Black screen Post by: PeterSt on March 16, 2013, 12:37:03 pm Ok Carsten. Thank you for the feedback, and I hope it is going to work out.
Kind regards, Peter |
