276508 2004-09-28 13:20:00 My monitor has started going into standby while the mouse is in motion, or when I am in the middle of typing a word. What could be causing that?
I have checked the settings, they are the same as always.

276510 2004-09-28 17:55:00 When I wrote "I have checked the settings, they are the same as always", I meant, the Power Management settings, my fault. I doubt it is the mouse though, it is allright in every other respect and the problem occurred when I had both hands on the keyboard as well. Could it be due to overheating? Vince Vince (406)

Any other issues; drivers, disk errors, adapters, touch screen or pad?

276512 2004-09-29 04:16:00 My computer consists of monitor, system box and printer; the printer was switched off and the system didn't go into standby with the monitor?

I had just run Norton disk utilities, including scanning for errors. No problems there.

There are no new device drivers, the only new device is a HD that isn't yet formatted; it doesn't appear in My Computer. Vince

That could be caused by the cable connection being intermittent/faulty
