Sleep/Hibernation Problem

G

Guest

I am running Windows XP Pro and have gone into power properties and told the
computer to never turn off the monitor, never turn off the hard disk, and
never go to system standby. I have also disabled hibernate. Yet annoyingly,
after ten to fifteen minutes of inactivity, my monitor goes to sleep. Is
there another preference that I am missing somewhere? There doesn't seem to
be one on the monitor itself.

Thanks!

Does it go to sleep, or is it activating the screensaver, and you have
chosen a blank screensaver?

Since you have your screen saver set to (None) it will have a tendancy to
turn off the monitor on a power saving mode. I have mine do the same thing.
