Power Options
I have an HP laptop using Vista SP-2. Until recently, the power settings
worked the way I set them (especially shutting off the display after 15 minutes of idle time). Now, this particular setting doesn't work (the display stays on all the time). I haven't checked the other settings yet. Tried Google but couldn't find anything that applied. Suggestions for a solution?

I would be glad to offer a suggestion to the OP, but I often have the same problem (not consistently, unfortunately) and haven't solved it. I have a thought that the Windows Search Indexer is implicated, but I'm not sure. And previously I had a wireless mouse & keyboard that added a reproducible 5 minute delay to the Screen Saver and Screen Dark timeouts...The new KB & mouse don't have that problem. Weird...
