| | Re: screensaver does not let the monitor turn off ? Hi, Are you using photo's as a screen saver? If so there seems to be a problem with powering down the monitor with that screen saver. I have read that since the photos screen saver can play videos and videos, by default, load an audio component (even though no audio is used in the screensaver) it is this audio component that keeps the monitor on. -- Paul "Lucia Grassi" wrote: Quote: > yes, that is what I did > > "Carlos Rivero" wrote: > Quote: > > Have you checked control panel / power options? > > > > Carlos > > España > > > > "Lucia Grassi" <LuciaGrassi@xxxxxx> escribió en el > > mensaje de noticias > > news:CFEBF8D9-CCCB-4269-9A59-EF7B05272F9A@xxxxxx Quote: > > >I have Vista Ultimate, I noticed that the "turn off monitor" power option > > > does not work if I set a screensaver.
