I had to reinstall windows xp. did format and reinstall and since then the
monitor will not power down/turn off regardless of what time i choose under
the power options. I have used misconfig and disalbed everything that isnt
neccessary and it still isnt working. i notcied once that it attempted to
power down and then came back up so I am sure something is running but i cant
figure it out. using windows xp-sp2.
 
Do you run Windows media player, or other media players. WMP has an option to
stop the PC going into screensaver etc...

Make sure any other applications you have running doesnt have a similar
option ticked.
 
it goes into screen saver fine. i have the power options to turn off monitor
at 25 min. it will turn off but comes right back on.
