| | power options not functioning Hi, I'm running windows vista home premium. Windows fails to recognize my computer is idling. 1) "Choose when to turn off the display" does not work no matter what time interval i set it to. I have tried turning off Adaptive display, does not help. 2) Msn fails to change state to "away" after whatever time interval i set as well. thanks. |
