Hi,
Actually, plugging the DVI to VGA adaptor by itself doesn't fix the
problem. It needs something else in there.

Actually didn't you get a little adaptor that goes from oh gee I think
the Apple connectors are SDI or something like that to a regular VGA
socket? If you did, plug this in and that should take care of your
problem. When I do some work on my kids Mini, I never take the monitor up
to my office, I just take his Mini and leave the adapter installed. Can't
say I've ever had any issues doing this so you might want to try that.

Hi all,
Here's an interesting one which you may want to hang on to in case
you ever need it. I told you about the initialization error I was having
with Apple's DVD player. I downloaded and installed the Softcon DVD
player and ran it. I'm sure what I'm about to say will also fix my error
with the Apple DVD player. Here goes.
When I ran the program, it told me something to the effect that there
wasn't
a supported graphics device. Now keep in mind, this is a Mac Mini, with
no
monitor. You guessed it... You need a monitor plugged in. Mind you, it
doesn't have to be turned on, doesn't even need to be plugged into AC
power,
it just needs to be plugged into the computer. Someone should really
make a
'fake monitor' plug you can just plug into your computer that makes it
think
there's a real monitor there. That would let you carry it around, etc.
and
not have to also carry a monitor if you wanted to watch DVD's.
