Screen cable was OK and indicator light on. I've just connected an old screen and it has booted up. Strange coincidence that it should fail immediately after the fault I posted. Thanks for all the help.

To be on the safe side see if theres a restore point prior to you installing your new software, if so, do it, and as with any restore best done in Safe Mode.

Yesterday the screen faded slightly, and something called ABBYY fine sprint seemed to cause it. Apparently this an OCR program (don't know where it came from) but is not suitable for 64bit systems. I tried to uninstall it, but got a message saying uninstall failed. I switched off and now have this problem.

ABBYY will have installed when you ran your printer software. It works with scanner part of your printer. If you uninstall your printer software, it should take ABBYY Finereader with it.

Sadly, system restore has never worked on Win 7 on this computer, even in safe mode, so I use image restore.

Yes I've read a few threads relating to this problem, but none which overcomes Windows' reluctance to uninstall it. I thought it came with the printer, a Dell Photo 964, which in theory should not work with Win7, but does if the Vista driver is loaded. However I would still like to uninstall it without uninstalling the printer. I am thinking it must have something to do with the fact that my machine is 64-bit.

If all else fails, you may have to uninstall and reinstall all of the printer software. I'm not clever enough to see another way around it.

That is, of course, if that is the root cause of your problem.

Yea restore can be a bit hit and miss in Win7, in particullar with windows deciding when to delete its restore points for no reason at all.

I use an Disk Image back up once a month and for Restore use SRM Ver 2, should I need to keep and restore points after 90 days, then just back up the restore files and rename them.

Thks Chris looks useful.

Backlight failure not uncommon on older LCD monitors, where they use fluorescent tubes. Normally total failure is due to the high voltage PSU used to drive them.
