Vista power configuration settings are changing on their own!

I have a very annoying problem with my Intel DG45ID motherboard. I am noticing that my Vista power configuration setting are changing automatically! I will set my monitor to go to standby after 20-minutes and for the computer to go to sleep after 30-minutes of idle activity. Everything is fine for a week or two, then suddenly I notice that they are both set to "Never". Anybody have this issue? Alternately, is there some sort of log that I can look at to see what might have changed these settings?

Just thought I'd answer my own question, since I discovered the problem. As it turns out. Arcsoft's Total Media Theater Blu-Ray software player was making the changes. When you opened the player, it would automatically make the changes! They have since fixed this issue with a newer release.
