Power scheme not working

[WhiteTea]

I am having problems with my power scheme for my monitor not working.
I apply it and it works, then later it doesn't.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Andy

Hi WhiteTea,
If you can cope with the Windows XP Command Prompt then
the command POWERCFG is a lot more powerful that the Power Properties
control panel. Type POWERCFG /? for a list of commands but here are a few
that you will need:

POWERCFG /QUERY (displays the current values)
POWERCFG /CHANGE /monitor-timeout-ac xx (where xx is in minutes)
POWERCFG /CHANGE /monitor-timeout-dc xx (where xx is in minutes)

Thanks Tim. I still "drop to DOS" a lot.
