I have seen several messages about the monitor not be able to go into time
automatically at a designated time. My also is now doing the same thing.
None of this happened until I downloaded Internet Explorer 7. I am beginning
to believe the culprit lies somewhere in the new software.

If you're referring to the ability of your monitor to go into standby
or power save, that has nothing to do with IE 7. It's not clear
what's going on from your message? Post again but this time describe
exactly what's happening and if you have recently installed any new
hardware or drivers.
 
The basic problem is the monitor will go to screen saver and then when it is
due to go into rest mode (off) the screen saver goes away and the monitor
stays on. If I set the times to one minute and two minutes respectively it
works fine. It is only when I set the monitor to go off at five or more
minutes that it does not work.

The only thing I recently installed was Charter.net security suite.

Something is preventing your monitor going into power save or standby
mode. More than likely if it works at the 2 minute interval and not
at 5 minutes, activity is preventing it. If it was a driver, it
wouldn't work at 2 minutes either.

Make sure you don't have something set to do an action at the 5 minute
or more interval. An example would be if you have your email program
set to check for messages every 5 minutes. Or something else set to
take action at 5 minutes or more. You need to do some detective work
to find the offender.
