Screen Saver, Power Settings, DVD player (XP Media Center)

[Westeban]

My Screen Saver doesn't work, nor will the monitor turn off at the intervals
I've set. I've examined the settings many times to make sure they don't
conflict, and all is as it should be. I had this problem once before, and an
HP Rep guided me to a place on Microsoft where I downloaded something to
repair this. I've searched, but can't find it again without assistance.
Thanks!

1) Regarding screensaver. Switch to basic screensaver (e.g. Windows XP) and
set time to 1 minute, then click apply.

2) Regarding monitor off. I'm running Media Center with SP3. Had similar
problem. My monitor off settings got lost every time I rebooted. After
searching, found this solution that worked for me. Set the monitor off time
to 2 minutes, then do a 'save as' and save settings under a new scheme e.g.
"My Power Scheme 2", then click apply.

Wait the altted time and see if this works.
