That wouldn't have anything to do with the W32Time service. That service is
for synchronizing system clocks in a network environment so that they are
all within a few thousandths of a second of each other. The reason such
synchronization is necessary is twofold: a.) the authentication scheme used
to access network resources in Active Directory, Kerberos, is only valid for
a very short period of time; and b.) some very sophisticated, time-sensitive
applications (e.g. a bank ATM) need accurate time settings. For a home user
it is almost *never* necessary - you can turn off the W32Time service if you
don't want your event log clogged up with these messages.
I think your monitor problem has to do with some combination of the Power
Settings in Windows and the Power Settings in your system BIOS. As a general
rule, turn *off* the power settings in your system BIOS and let Windows
manage it. they are only in the BIOS for Operating Systems that don't have
APM (Advanced Power Management) capabilities.
