Monitor doesnt turn off
Latest video card drivers for Vista and installed them.
No updated driver for the monitor at all and unlikely ever to be. Monitor set to turn off (set numerous times) to 10 minutes, screen saver set to 5 minutes. Screen saver comes ON at 5 minutes and monitor STAYS that way indefinitely. So, though I have tried numerous things such as changing the profile for the monitor etc, nothing makes any difference. Thus, hoping someone has an idea how to fix this problem.

Monitor doesnt turn off
Ok I just tested this and the same thing happens on mine..BUT
if I use no screen saver then the monitor does turn off...so that brings up the question Is the screen saver keeping the monitor on???? peter "Diamontina Cocktail" wrote in message ...

REALLY!? That is the one thing I DIDNT try! Will go apply that now and get
back to you later in the day. Thanks for that! If mine is the same then maybe your conclusion is correct. I did the picture screen saver and I have noted that the *.scr for that one is a running task even when I am using the machine. So you are likley correct!! "pete" wrote in message ...

On my system, the screen doesn't power down if I use the Photos screen
saver. If I use Bubbles, it does power down. I guess that's reasonable given that Photos displays content and Bubbles just adds bubbles. "Diamontina Cocktail" wrote in message ... REALLY!?

Monitor doesnt turn off
Hey PETE! It works that way. So now I have no screen saver as that is the only way to stop the monitor being on short of a third party program. One thing it does do though - it sometimes makes the damned monitor not respond at all no matter what I do so then I have to hit the reset button, darn it! Anyway, your idea worked! thanks!

I dont see it is areasonable to be honest. In Xp, "My Pictures Slideshow"
would allow the monitor to power down so why doesnt Photos? "David A. Lessnau" wrote in message ... On my system, the screen doesn't power down if I use the Photos screen saver.
