Well this would be easy to test out...

Turn OFF the Windows controlled screensaver, and any other monitor power-mode
time-out in "Power Options" so that the screen *should* be ON all the time - forever.

If then the screen [still] turns itself off - you then know that it is a function of
the monitor!

Further to the previous of late Mar/early April when I said that it appeared to me
that XP on my machine had a mind of it's own in regard to screensaver op. Well it
seems that not just XP has functions in regard to the screensaver which appear to
be beyond my control - well enter the two AOC LCD screens that I have for doing
their own thing. I have just noticed that after the screen saver was in operation
for about 20, the two screens both switched off together, ie, what I thought was
screensaver humbug in XP, is in this case, some preset operation of the LCD screens
which after a preset period have switched off. When I say switched off, well I can
only at this stage say that the "On" leds which are blue in normal mode, both went
to Orange, which is their down mode.
This maybe of interest to those of you who use LCD screens. Oh and I did a scan of
the PDF's for these screens and their is no mention of this function, that I saw.
