Sun Microsystems 817-3630-11 manual From the File menu in SunPCi, choose Exit

To fix this issue, you can either restart Windows or refer to the SunPCi III 3.2 User’s Guide, specifically the section in the Windows 2000 chapter titled, “How to Switch External Video Back to the System Monitor” on page 69 for instructions.

Issue With Blank System Monitor After Switching Back From External Video in Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional

If you attempt to change from an external monitor to the system monitor without using the -vcommand, the change fails and your system monitor becomes blank.

Note – This issue only happens if you first attempt to switch to an external monitor without gracefully shutting down SunPCi and then restarting using the -vcommand.

To recover from this situation, do the following:

1.From the File menu in SunPCi, choose Exit.

The SunPCi Exit dialog box opens with the choice of Exit, Shutdown x86 OS and Exit SunPCi, or Cancel.

2.Click Shutdown x86 OS and Exit SunPCi to exit Microsoft Windows and the SunPCi application.

Microsoft Windows and SunPCi close gracefully.

3.At the Solaris system prompt, restart the SunPCi III software normally:

%/opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci

The SunPCi III software starts, and Microsoft Windows opens on the system monitor.

Refer to the appropriate operating system chapter for information about changing the video display.
