122105 2003-02-17 22:28:00 Something has happened overnight to my Monitor it now goes blank if not used for more than 1 minute but yet in the settings I have checked and made sure that I did not have the screensaver or anything else turned on. Which all seem to be correct. Why has it started happening just today? How can I stop it. Sandy P (3195)

Just a thought, have you tried cold booting your computer then checking those settings again?

Cheers

Yes tried that too. I put in two new games before this happened could they somehow be affecting it? How would I check this? I did an antivirus scan to see if it was a virus or something but nothing came up.

Have you checked the BIOS power management (CMOS) as well as the Windows Power Management?

I’ve had the odd programme that has had the temerity to change my CMOS setup.

122111 2003-02-18 21:18:00 Thanks for all of that guys, it wasn't in the CMOS either that all checked out fine, I had one final thought and went into my Graphics Card set up and one of the games must have added a refresh rate in or something as a default which I have now taken out and all seems to be back to normal *fingers crossed* Sandy P (3195)
