Opening OpenPHT while monitor is off, crashes the display driver #305

Using EventGhost (EG) for some remotely controlled actions and one of them is to run OpenPHT. If the monitor is off, EG uses command to turn on the monitor. Then, if OPHT is already running, it just maximizes the program, if not, it runs OPHT executable.

The problem is, if the monitor is turned off, running OPHT crashes display driver and Windows falls back to some default driver (even a mouse cursor lags a lot). The only way to get back to using my PC is a restart. If I would add a pause of ~5 seconds after the Monitor ON command and only then run OPHT, it might be OK - didn't try it yet. It takes ~3-5 second for my LG monitor to wake up from sleep. But still think OPHT should open without crashing a display driver even if monitor is turned off.

OpenPHT: 1.8.0.148, Win10, Skin - 1.8.0 OPHT PMS: Same machine Win10, all latest releases for maybe 4 months (can't remember exactly when started to use EG) nVidia GeForce 1070, LG monitor on Display Port

P. S. Where do I find log files?
