Windows Me – Die Monitorüberprüfung abstellen und schneller hochfahren

Bei jedem Systemstart versucht Windows mit dem Monitor Kontakt aufzunehmen. Dies geschieht über den DDC (Data Display Channel) Kanal. Über diesen werden Daten wie z.B. der Typ des Monitors oder dessen maximale Auflösung abefragt. Da aber viele Monitore diese Art der Verbindung nicht unterstützen, versucht Windows einige Sekunden lang vergeblich diese Daten zu übertragen. Solange steht der Startvorgang komplett still. Wenn sie diese Art der Verbindung abschalten und dabei etliche Sekunden sparen möchten, müssen sie folgendermaßen vorgehen:

1. Go over Start on Execute and type in the command line that appears regedit in.

2. A program appears with which you can Windows registry can edit.

3. Now navigate one after the other to Hkey_Local_Machine/System/Current ControlSet/Services/Class/Display/0000/Default. In the right-hand pane you will now see the entry DDC. Double-click on it and enter instead of the existing 1 one 0 inside.

After confirming with and clicking on to close the program, you can restart the computer and enjoy the fast start-up process.
