Funny you should ask. I never dreamed that my initial question would have generated so much discussion. Many thanks to the people who sent me information directly, as well as those who have been discussing (arguing?) about the issue in c.s.m.h. Anyway, I checked the rating on the back of the IIcx - the power connection for the monitor is rated at 3A. The monitor I'm using (an E-machines T16) is rated at 4A. So, what I've done (so far) is to plug the monitor directly into the wall. This means that I've got to turn on the monitor "by hand" first, and then power up the IIcx, but I think I can handle it. It's been set up this way for a couple of days without any trouble, but since the problem tends to come and go, I'll have to wait a couple of weeks before I'm convinced that I've found the solution. If not, I think my next step will be to bring it in to have the power supply checked. Anyway, thanks again everyone, and have a good holiday. Wayne Colella colella@emav51.webo.dg.com
