black outs

Saturday, April 29, 2006 by winnay | Discussion: Docks

Hi. I use OD and I personalyl love it. its a great nifty tool, but there are a few bigs. Right now my major prob w/ OD is when i close the lid of my laptop, and then reopen my lid, my lapstop screen shows my desktop, but then it blackouts for like 5 secs before it shows my desktop again. I know that OD is affecting this because when i uninstalled it, opening and closing my lid, my desktop was fine and normarl, no blackouts. if someone know what i can do or had this problem and solve it, please let me know. thank you in advance

There are probably a bunch of potential reasons why this is happening, depending on the combination of video drivers, hibernation method used, standby method used, BIOS settings and which mode you are going into when you close the laptop. You'd probably need to post as much in the way of system specs as possible as well as the contents of the System Information screen from the WindowBlinds Configuration dialog (if you have WB installed) for anyone to have an idea. Even then, it depends.

The WB info can help troubleshoot what's going on with OD, though, so if you'd like some help, I'd suggest providing the information - otherwise nobody will have any clues. I doubt I'll be able to help, since I don't use OD, but someone reading this may have some insight.
