Vista - power management

power management

Anyone know how to permanently disable power management in Vista?
I have a KVMA switch and it's a real pita when the monitor shuts off due to inactivity when I jump to the other PC.

I keep going into power management in control panel, into performance power management profile, setting everything to never. Somehow the monitor option keeps getting set to shut off in 20 minutes!! This is on both Vista Home Premium 32 bit and 64 bit.

There must be a service to disable so it won't sleep the monitor no matter what the setting I would think.

Hi MilesAhead,

You might see if resetting all Power Plans back to default, then setting them back to never may allow the monitor setting to stick for you.

Did you also set the screen saver selection to none?

Re: power management

That's an idea. I'll give it a try.

Yes, I always have "none" for screen saver and "never" for time outs. I install a lot of little programs I wrote and uninstall to see that they work before I upload. Sometimes I wonder what registry stuff really gets flushed out to disk they way they have it set up. It wouldn't be so annoying if it wasn't for the kvma switch but that's what makes it possible to fit 2 pcs and a small network on one table.
