[update] If your monitor version is older to March 2007 then forget this solution. Ask Benq to replace your monitor I found out that many people are experiencing this blackout problem when using the BenQ FP241W and the DVI connection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Y8CMC5_qI The complexity of the problem arises because of the unpredictable behaviour of the many elements that are involved in the situation: graphics card, drivers, cables, monitor firmware, driver settings etc. Here I will try to outline a “method” that worked for me,.. relatively ok. 1.

In my case it produces, apart from the constant flickering, digital noise with visible dots(artifacts) in all black areas.

You basically have to mount the card as a drive. 1. Open a Windows File manager and go to the following directory: $System_rootDocuments and Settings$usernameLocal SettingsTemp On my winXP was: C:Documents and SettingsmodestosLocal SettingsTemp 2. Run Nokia Map Loader 3. Select the maps that you want and start downloading. 4. go back to the file manager and locate a folder named "download_temp". It only appears when downloading and if the installation fails then Nokia Map Loader deletes it. 5. So, before downloading finishes make the "download_temp" folder read-only. 6.Once Maploader [...]
