blank screen

If left idle, Windows XP goes to blank screen instead of
screen saver. I've tried different screen savers, but
nothing works. Any ideas?

Do you have the Power settings blanking the screen prior to the
screensaver is kicking in?

There is a Power button on the Screensaver screen which turns off
the monitor, hard drive or goes to standby. The Screensaver does
not turn off the monitor but sends a pattern to it even if you
choose Blank Screen. It you have the power setting turning off the
monitor before the time set in the Screensaver, the Screensaver will
never start. The Power setting is preferable because it actually
runs the monitor at reduced power to save electricity.
