Power Saving.....Working now?



Since I didn't get any help regarding this subject (on the two different
posts I made) I thought I'd go ahead a play with settings in the Power
Options. I found one that for some reason seems to work....I have it set
for 15 mins. then shut down the monitor and for today, this has worked.

I have a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. I thought (based on reading
here in the newsgroup) that it may be a sensitivity to the mouse, but I
guess not. For whatever reason, it works at the 15mins. point, but no
others.
