Screen saver, monitor & system standby settingswon't work properl

[Mary]

When I set my screen saver for eg 5 mins & set my monitor to turn off after 5
mins & system standby after 5 mins & then click on Apply & OK it doesn't seem
to happen. Sometimes they come on & sometimes they don't. When the screen
saver does come on at 5 mins it then switches off again after 1 min. None of
them come on & stay on at the set times. Also when I click on Save as in the
Power Options Properties box the following box & message then appear "Power
Policy Manager unable to set policy - Indicates two revision levels are
incompatible". I would appreciate any help.

It sounds like you are trying to get all of them to activate at the same
time. If you want each to activate 5 minutes after the previous, try this:
5 minutes = Screen Saver
10 minutes = Monitor off
15 minutes = System standby
