PC 'ignoring' Power Options

[Pete]

Around Xmas I downloaded the MS Snowflakes screensaver (from the MS
site). It worked fine and after 20 mins my monitor switched off as per
the setting in Power Options and as it has always done before with
other screen savers.

I recently chose another screen saver and now my monitor won't switch
off. Regardless of which screen saver I choose, the monitor will not
power down after 20 mins.
I've tried many different standard screen savers but still the monitor
doesn't power down.
I have removed the Snowflakes saver with Control Panel/Add-Remove
Progs. but to no effect.

The screen saver comes on, then after a while the monitor goes back to
it's 'awoken' state and the cycle repeats.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
Pete

have you looked at the power managment options in the control panel?? it
should give you options in there, to set monitor, hard drive etc to power
down, hope this helps , pete ;-)

Thanks Pete, but that is where I have set-up Power Mgt Options.

All the best
