I've noticed this behavior with NVidia-based video
chipsets in XP when using other that any imbedded
Microsoft XP video drivers: Several different monitors
now blank out at the predetermined time but do not
actually power down to low-energy levels. They just
blank out and quickly snap back to life upon moving mouse
or hitting keyboard. I know monitors are not truly
powered down because # 1 - they are hot to touch in back
and # 2 - They come back to life too quickly. I've tried
both the Microsoft Plug-and-Play monitor driver and the
actual monitor driver provided by the two monitor
manufaturers (NEC and KDS)and I still have the problem.
This does not happen with other tnat NVidia video
chipsets.
 
To change the power saving features, go to your display applet by right
click the desktop, got to properties, go to screen saver, got to Power

Thanks
