I discovered this same problem on a Toshiba Tecra. If you look carefully at the screen, you will notice that it isn't really blank, but the backlighting is off. The only solution I found was to boot in win95, and use the toshiba utilities to disable all of the power-saving features. It appears to plug that into the bios somewhere. -jan- -- Jan L.
