Windows 7 Desktop goes Black after a period of inactivity and the user accesses their machine again

Hi There,
Wonder if someone can offer some help to an unusual problem?
Users have Windows 7 machines which all have a desktop background theme...Blue with a company Logo.
User will go for lunch and leave their position, after a period of time screen saver and/or powersaver kicks in...all normal at this point.
After an hour they come back to their machine and they move the mouse/tap a key and bring the machine back to life (excuse my terminology :) ) and the desktop has gone from the default theme to a black desktop...Icons/Applications will behave fine.
The temporary workaround is:
1. Log off and on windows to restore the desktop back to normal.
or...
2. I do a restart of the service "Desktop window Manager Session Manager" which puts the desktop back to normal as well.
Has anyone seen this and worked a way how to do a permanent fix....have struggled on Google as all answers i find are around screen savers which IS NOT the problem.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Brenton,
First of all thanks for your quick response.
I forgot to mention these are machines we maintain on a customer site and I am planning a visit there soon so will be looking at some of the options you mention and then post a fuller report back for you.
In the meantime...
Re 1 we may actually be able to consider not going to "sleep" as this is a 24/7 operation environment so would not be a big deal to do that so may try that on my site visit.
Re 2 we do have a master build IF we need to re-build/re-image...its a fairly locked down completed environment so new machines/rebuilds wont happen often. Just for info we re-did our build from scratch very carefully.
On site going to check the Firmware updates as you quite rightfully mention could be out-of-date and benefit from an update. We last updated them about October/November last Lear.
I have just remembered that sometimes the users resolve the issue by using the mouse and dragging an empty box around the screen and this restores the desktop colour etc...very strange one!!
Cheers,
Steve

IMac screen goes black after 1+ hours of use and we can't get out of this.

I have a mid-2007 iMac. When anyone is on the computer for approximately 1-1.5 hours, the screen goes black and we cannot get out of this. There are no time restrictions or power-saver settings on. Can anyone help me with this issue?

You cannot do anything with the iPad until you do as instructed by the iPad and connect to iTunes on a computer.
You probably need to restore the iPad and the only way to do that is via iTunes on a computer.
Take it to an Apple Store and ask for help at a Genius bar or take it to a friend's house that is running iTunes on their computer and try to restore it.
You will lose all of your data and settings now because you never backed the iPad up in the past.

Desktop is black after downloading 10.8.3 and running external monitor color calibration

I downloaded 10.8.3 and ran Spectraview ll to calibrate my external NEC monitor. At the end of the process, which seemed to be successful, the desktop is black, making it impossible to use because text is not readable. I used System Preferences to reset the desktop color to a mid-gray; choose color but nothing happens.

My display is working great - and I've been through the 10.82 update, the 10.8.2 update, etc., but no firmware update (your's was likely Retina-specific).
Your ATB should just be pug-and-play. Since you're still under warranty, I would contact AppleCare and possibly setup and appointment with the Genius Bar folks at your local Apple Store: something's not right - whether it's you display or your notebook.

My macbook pro (retina display) screen goes black after 4 minutes.

my macbook pro (retina display) screen goes black after 4 minutes. when i press the trackpad it comes back.
I have already deselected all the energy saving options.

From what you describe, the computer is going to sleep.
Have you restarted and reset the SMC?

Can I make my iMac restart (not logoff) after a period of inactivity?

I have several user accounts on one iMac.
What I want to happen is that users are logged out after a set period of inactivity and the computer restarts so that it automatically logs back in to a generic account i.e. not just back to the login menu.
Is that possible?
Thanks in advance.

Just for the record, what I have done so far:
- Reinstalled OsX
- Checked the console for error messages when the system should go to sleep (-> nada)
- Deleted com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
- SMC Reset
- Set up a fresh user to see if problem still exists (yup, it does...)
- Booted into Safe-Mode to see if problem still exists (yup, it does...)
At the moment I am using PleaseSleep as a workaround, but this is not the real deal, as I cant define exceptions exactly enough (dont sleep while iTunes is running, dont sleep while sabnzb is downloading, ...)
I am pretty sure this is related to the "Couldnt find any matches" message which occurs when System Preferences should save the energy settings (even though they are correct, when I check with pmset -g).
man, things went really bad since the upper corners of the screen were not rounded anymore...

Mac OS X 10.6.8 desktop goes black 10 secs after booting, can remain apparently asleep for 15 mins. I can't prompt it to wake, until recently it would wake when peripheral were added (earphones). What is wrong, and how can this be fixed?

You need to fresh install 10.6, programs fresh form original sources and return only vetted files (no TM migrations) from a regular storage drive
But this when erasing the drive use the Security Option: Zero All Data before installing 10.6
What has happened your data got corrupted and it's corrupted on the TM drive too.
So the Zero will map off bad sectors on your drive, the 10.6 install will be fresh, the programs will be fresh and only files will be returned, you'll find out in short order which ones they are.

Why My Screen goes BLACK after gaming????

*My Screen goes BLACK after gaming, or exiting Full Screen Mode*. The music keeps playing, but doesnt do anythin! It only shows the mouse pointer so i have to force shutdown. how can i see my desktop and windows??? And it isnt the batteries. Help me thks

I suspect that your game has a bug when switching between full-screen and window mode. When or if this happens again while you are still seeing the black screen press the following three keys: option, command, escape (hold down all three at the same time). You may or may not then see the "Force Quit" window. In any case, release the optioncommandescape key sequence and press the return key. This should quit the game and return you to your normal desktop. You may have to perform the "Force Quit" more than once, two or three times being the most I would expect (that is, if the first time doesn't work).

Mac pro turns on but screen goes black after a while what could be wrong please help!!!

Hello mac community, I am new,
I updated a program today everything was working fine yesterday and now today I was updating PLAY a music engine program it seems to have caused the mac to go crazy. I also updated VE PRO 5 another music program. Everything has gone crazy. It turns on but then then the screen goes black after a while 5-10mins. I managed to get the crash report.
Why is the graphics card all of a sudden effected by program updates.

I havent had the exact same problem as you but I am having a similar problem where lately I noticed when working in Pro Tools (mainly because I use my mac pro for audio work) or even when on the internet whatever it may be that my screen has been flickering a little bit or gets slightly glitchy.
Yesterday upon startup for the first time the screen went black. Had to do a force shutdown. Unplugged all external devices. Reset everything as well. Slowly checked everything was on the phone with Apple even during the process. Seemed to correct the issue. Then of course I get off the phone, restarted my computer and it goes black randomly again.
Rebooted fine. Checked all my hard disks internal and external, verified and repaired permissions on main drive and clone. Since then nothing yet...But I still feel its either the Video Card or the Monitor as everything else is fully operational.
I plan on taking it in to look at as my applecare is up in November but I cant point my finger on it. And really am trying to avoid lugging the mac pro and monitor in at the same time...(Not the easiest thing with lack of parking in nyc..)
If the display was dying I feel like it would have konked out already.
The funny thing is I have had to replace video cards and monitors in the past but this time I cant quite figure out what the **** is going on.
I am leaning towards the video card as I noticed it flickered a little when opening plug in windows in pro tools or multiple windows in sfari but it doesnt make sense.
Worst part is I cant do a hardware test cause for some reason this computer doesnt have the software installed. It does nothing when I hold down the D button...
I totally baffled but the randomness of this.

Re: Satellite Pro A200 - Screen goes black after BIOS screen

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and have quite a big problem. So any help is welcome and appreciated.
My Satellite Pro A200 goes black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just before the screen goes black a bleep can be heard which shows windows is booting.
I can access the toshiba set-up screen but not the safety mode set-up.
Kind Regards

Hello
You wrote that you can access the BIOS but have you checked if the HDD is recognized properly? Maybe the computer cannot boot because HDD isnt recognized so you should check this.
If the HDD is recognized I would try a recovery installation from Toshiba recovery disk. It seems that Windows isnt able to start and if you reinstall the whole system it should help to get rid of this. Just go in boot menu and select CD/DVD drive as boot device.
Check this!!!

Iphone G3 screen goes black after ending every call.

My iphone screen goes black after ending a call. Shouldn't I have to hit the "end call" button? I'm having to re-boot the phone after every call I make. Anyone else have similar issues?

Nathan C.,
I know that and it is not the problem nor an explanation.
Here is the issue I am referring to:
When someone calls, still during the conversation when I remove the phone from my ear (in order to access the key pad, for example), or in order to hand up, the screen goes black and the phone freezes.
In other words I cannot terminate the call or access the keys,as I remove the phone away from my ear it shuts down.
Any help???

How to stop monitor from going black after no activity for a short time while reading a document?

When I'm reading an e-mail or document without moving my mouse, the screen turns black after only about one minute and then switches to my screen saver. I must move the mouse constantly to keep my active window open. I can't find out how to turn this "Energy Saving Feature" off so I can read long articles without being interrupted every other minute. This has been VERY irritating!

Hi,
Open windows Control Panel, open Pesonalization, click the Screen saver link in the bottom right and in the following window, adjust the time in the 'Wait' box to a time you want before the screen saver appears and click Apply. Or if you prefer never to get the log-on screen, remove the tick next to 'On resume, display logon screen'. Click Apply to save the change.
Next, open windows Control Panel again and click Power Options, click the Change plan settings link next to your currently selected power plan and in the following window adjust the time using the dropdown box next to 'Turn Off Display' to a more acceptable setting and then click Save Changes.
Note: Set the time in the Power Options menu to be slightly longer than the time you set in the Screensaver Menu or you will never see your screensaver start.

My 3rd generation ipad even though my battery is at 100 % the screen goes black after sitting for more than 15 mins. The only way to get it to come is by resetting the ipad. Is there a fix for this. It all started after the last two updates.

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

IPhone goes black after 5 seconds

My iPhone 4s, when I hit the round button, my screen goes black after 5 seconds. Not sure why, I dont have any timeouts in the settings set to 5 seconds that I can tell, the only one i have is the lock, but that's at 5 minutes. but its pretty consistent if the screen is black, then i hit the round button and it's sitting at the screen to swipe to unlock, if i dont do anything for 5 seconds, it goes black again.
It will also go black randomly while the phone is unlocked and in use. any ideas? Can't imagine 5 seconds is the default idle time for it to go black, that's pretty fast!!

Your iPhone has suffered damage and will need to be take or sent to Apple for replacement. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost wll be $79 US. If you don't, the cost (if memory serves) will be $269.

My macbook 3.1 screen goes dark after a period of use; but if i readjust the screen (close it to about a 30 degree angle) the screen light is on again

my macbook 3.1 screen goes dark after a period of use; but if i readjust the screen (close it to about a 30 degree angle) the screen light is on again. i don't have an external monitor, so i just deal with it. i'm about done dealing with it and am wondering if anyone else had/has this problem, and how did you solve it?

You have a hardware problem. It needs to be fixed.
Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.
