View Full Version : SP2 Power Schemes not working?

I had my system to turn off monitor after 30 min. of inactivity. It
worked fine until I installed SP2. Same hardware, the only difference
is SP2. The schemes seem to be OK and I've enabled APM, but it
doesn't seem to turn off the monitor (haven't tried other devices).

Any suggestions?

Thx

Try re-installing your video card drivers.

Turn off your screen saver :)

I turned off screen saver, that didn't appear to do anything. I then
reinstalled the driver and that did it.

Thnx.
