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

[Guest 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.
