Default Screen doesn't turn off


a workaround may be a shareware Turn Off Monitor at http://ww.rtsoftwares.com

Same issue for me.

Dell 9100 with Radeon x600 graphics

Monitor powered down just fine in previous version of Vista but not after
up[grading to Pre-RC1

I did notice that the Upgrade did not load my monitor driver - it picked a
standard driver. After manually loading the correct driver ( Dell 2005) I
saw no change - problem still there.

I hope they fix this one soon!

I have Vista pre-RC1 build 5536. This is the first build I've tried on this
computer. I dual-boot into XP, works fine. I have a problem with that the
screen never goes into energy-save mode. After the set time out (20
minutes)
the screen goes black, but the monitor is still on, I can see that the
backlight is on, and the LED shows that it's on.
I have an AGP ATI Radeon 9550 graphics card. I've tried both with
Microsoft
graphics drivers, and ATI, some issue.

Thanks for any suggestions,
