Vista and Monitor Power Saving

Hi All,


Has anyone had problems with Vista turning their monitor off while they're
still using the machine?

The problem I'm having, is if I'm watching a video, or playing a game that
doesn't use the mouse or keyboard, my monitor goes to sleep after 20 mins
(the time-out set in the power management options). This is particularly
annoying when in the middle of a game, but irritating when playing videos
too!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could fix this, short of upping
the time-out or turning it off completely?


Thanks


Alex
