Screen saver + monitor power problem

M

Iam using xp pro sp2. Whenever I use a screen saver my monitor will not
power down by itself. It doesn't matter which screen saver I use all have
the same results. When I select "none" in the screen saver area the
monitor will power down by itself in the alloted amount of time. I also
had the same problem in SP1.
????????

Thanks

Right click desktop and choose properties/choose screensaver/choose power
and select how long you want your monitor to stay on.

I have that option set. When I turn the screensaver off the monitor Will shut
down in the amount of time that I have set in the power area. With the
screensaver active the monitor will not shut down. It's as if the screensaver
activity in enough to full the monitor setting
