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.

Right-click your Desktop, then Properties » Screen Saver and change
the wait time, or select "None" for screen saver.

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).
