Hello, I have somewhat of an odd problem. My Macbook pro monitor will not display anything whenever it boots into windows.
I installed Bootcamp and Windows last week and it ran fine, no problems at all. Then last Monday I booted up the macbook, selected windows in boot camp, and all of a sudden the screen went dark. It make the WinXP bootup sound and I could hear other programs turn on so I know that Windows was running but for some reason my monitor wasn't recognizing the video output. When I plugged in an external monitor using Firewire/VGA, the monitor recognized the output but my laptop monitor still didn't. (When I used an external montor with OSX, both monitors worked fine simultaneously)
I tried deleting the windows partition and repartitioning using boot camp, but when I try to install windows after that I again get no graphics (even before I can get to the installer!) Ive searched around forums but havent seen anything like this around before. Can anyone help me out here?
