display keeps going to screensaver mode

[sleepy]

I need some help on this...when I am watching tv or viewing a video or even
browising the web...If I don't move my mouse for a bit(screensaver set for
15 minutes), the application I am running jumps to screensaver mode...I
cannot watch a tv program or any video or application for more than the 15
minutes that the screensaver is set for,,,If I do not do anything for set
time...screensaver comes on...I need to know what could be causing
this...this never was an issue before...I realize I could just set
screensaver to more time. but, I would like to know why this is doing this
now....if anyone understands this promblem I am experiencing and might know
how to solve this,,please respond....

It's doing what you are telling it to do. No input activity, turn off the
monitor.
So, give it an activity. This utility turns the NumLock setting on and off
every 10 minutes. It expires after 3 hours.
--stay alive.vbs--
set shell=createobject("wscript.shell")
on=true
count=0
while on
wscript.sleep 600000
shell.sendkeys "{NUMLOCK}"
count=count + 1
if count > 180 then on = false
end if
wend
--end file--
Running this takes so little resources it isn't worth worrying about. If you
want to kill it early, wscript is a task you can kill to no harm in task
manager.

Hi sleepy,

Try reinstalling your TV Software and Graphics Package and do a Custom
install. Remember to follow the instructions of your Graphics Card's
Manufacturer for doing so. There is an option that you set.
