Posted June 19, 200816 yr It has happened occasionally, but with no predictability that I can see. I change settings in control pannel / power settings / balanced to 10 min for monitor and never for computer. I check the "advanced settings" to assure that they are the same. I use balanced because that seems to be the default in the registry. I do not see the actual settings in the registry. Every so often Vista resets the settings back to 20 min for the monitor. I have looked at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935799/en-us but it speaks of "System Settings page" - I don't know what that is. In any case, my settings have no effect and I can't get the monitor to dependably go to standby after 10 minutes. Any help appreciated! tia! -- Kris ---------- DFI Infinity Blood-Iron P35-T2RL E7200Wolfdale SLAVN M0 2.53@3.42ghz 1.29v TtP0310HSF 2x1gb Mushkin HP 800@1082 | MSI NX8600GTS-OC 256mb | LiteOn DH401S08C at CP56 BluRay player | Hannspree HF289H 28" | Raidmax RX530-SS psu | Vista Ult 32 SP1
