Hi Sharon F,
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I have tried the flying xp screen saver and
still the power management (monitor shut down) function will not activate.
It works great on my XP-Pro Dell Lap top with virtually the same settings. I
have not tried the blank one, any ideas? I use a 18 inch LCD using the GE
force ti 4200 128mg card
