I have gone into the power settings and advanced power settings (via the
screen saver options window) and changed the display to shut off after 10
minutes on the screen saver. I save the changes, but the monitor still does
not shut off after 10 minutes or 10 hours. Why wont the settings work? I do
have administrative privileges. I have Windows Vista Home Premium

I had the same problem and followed the advice in Ronnie Vernon's response of
2/23/2007 under the thread "Screen Saver" (9 posts) of 2/21/2007 (see below).
It solved the problem for me.

I don't have Norton. I use windows one care. I don't have usb mouse or
keyboard. I don't use bluetooth. I shut down the ehtray.exe process, but the
problem is still there.
