Default Power saving settings don't stick

My power saving settings won't stick. Under Control Panel | Power Options I
set up the monitor to switch off after a certain time. This works. Then I
reboot, and the monitor doesn't turn off any more, even though the setting
is still there under the Power Options setting. So I change it by 5 minutes
or so, and lo and behold, it work again, but only until next reboot.
Annoying.
ideas?
thanks
