I have a Dell inspiron 6400 laptop with vista ultimate installed and when

ever I play a movie windows turns off the screen after 20 minutes (that's the

time I told windows to turn the screen off when idle). In the power

management I chose to prevent idle sleep while sharing media but windows

still turns off the screen. Is there any way to prevent this while I watch

videos?

    that seems a bit dumb, there must be a better way to handle this.
