Screen turn-off not working.

I have just installed an old Hauppauge WinTV V7.2 on to my Creator
computer.

But now the screen will not power save, but stays on all the time! Can
there be some fix for this.

Maybe you should Google the model number of the
Hauppauge hardware, just to see whether the thing
has known problems or not.

This thread is for an HVR-2250. The owner of the card
tried some powercfg voodoo, but there was little evidence
presented by the utility.

I haven't had a problem with my Hauppauge HVR-2255 card here,
one I got a couple months ago. But I also haven't installed
drivers for it under Win10. I had WinTV running with it in
Win7.

There is some multimedia capability to prevent a system
from sleeping (so you can watch a movie DVD for 2 hours
without the computer taking a snooze). But that behavior
might not be exactly what yours is doing.

This command prepares an HTML report about energy usage
on the machine. An inability to power save should be
noteworthy enough to have an entry in the report.
I think there is also a "-output" option if you want to
pick your own file name.

cd /d %userprofile%\downloads
powercfg -energy

The output is in your Downloads folder

The Haupage software is now up to version 8. Try upgrading to the newer
version.

I am having similar problems with the screen power off function, but I'm
sure it is not the Haupage software, because it will work for some period
of time after the system is booted, but then will go back to not working.
And my system is very steady state - the same softare is running all the
time with the same tasks going on.

C:\WINDOWS\system32powercfg /requests

ACTIVELOCKSCREEN:

C:\WINDOWS\system32

WiFi Lan Server is a program that lets my tablet access my PC's disks as
if they were mounted on the tablet. Almost all of the time there is
nothing using that link.

Thanks, I just upgraded to the WinTV8 but the problem is the same.
I've now ordered the WinTV 8.5 and this might fix it.

Thanks to all. I fixed it by unchecking the box, buried deeeep inside
the WinTV configuration menu, under Advanced, "Block Windows Screen
Saver".
