TIA Screen saver turned on or power saving mode turned on? Right click a blank area on the desktop and then left click Properties. Screen Saver tab. See if the Screen saver is set to Blank. If so you can change it to none or even change the time it takes to go to blank. If this is set to none, click the Power button below and you will see the power settings to turn off the monitor after a period of inactivity. Change and OK out. If this is not what you meant please post a clearer account of exactly what you mean. |

TIA Thank you all. This sounds likewhat I have chosen as normal behavior. Find an open space on your desktop. Right click. Left click on Properties. Choose the Screen Saver tab. Under "Screen saver", do you have "(None)"? If so, click on Power. Is there a figure to the right of "Turn off monitor"? On my machine, yes, and I have chosen "After 15 mins". So if I do nothing for 15 minutes, my screen will go dark, but will light up again if I do various things, including moving my mouse (which counts as resuming activity). |
