| | Vista - Power Options I am trying to turn off the display after 30 minutes of inactivity. But nothing seems to be changing. As administrator, it works fine. On Vista, can a normal user change the Power Options? NJ |

Read the > manual of the motherboard for the correct settings. working for the Administrator account but not to the regular user accounts. Why?
