You know, because I didn't want to discuss about 'how to sneak in to my computer and restart it' some pages, I just restarted it.
I haven't tested it, but I think the monitor problem is resolved now... EDIT: Yay! It works! |

Oh, those things. Yeah, that doesnt warrant a wiped hard drive. Couldnt you reboot the system while no one is using it? Like at night or something? |

Before I format my computer, I'd rather keep it and turn off the monitor manually. It isn't that hard anyway.
Oh, and the booting problems aren't big, just some old junk from a software I removed long ago that constantly tries to start itself from the bootsector but fails (obviously). |

Sounds like you need to wipe the computer and start from scratch anyway. |

No, I can't because of two reasons:
1. This computer isn't used only for internet surfing. It is used for beta testing, audio/video editing, N64 emulation and alike. And because I often run these processes in the background (thank you HyperThreading), I can't shut down the computer. Oh, this computer is also in a network for sharing files... 2. My computer has some problems with booting... have to fix it, don't know when I'll come to it. |

You can't just reboot now?  |

Tried it, again didn't work.
I think I just need to restart the computer, though I'm not sure when this will be done (maybe in September...) |

when I leave my computer on running long enough, it won't activate screensaver nor the monitor power down mode. So, what I usually end up doing is to just change the minutes to the nearest setting. So, if I have a screen saver that activates in 1 minute, I change it to 2. If I have power-save monitor mode set to 2 minutes, I move it to 5 mintes. |

Nice idea, but my screensaver is already disabled. |

I have a similar problem; I turn mine off using NirCmd, but when I come back into the room about half an hour later, it's on and the screen saver is running. I'm going to try disabling the screen saver, see if that helps yours too. |

Hi,
for some reason the monitor doesn't want to turn off automatically when I don't do anything anymore. It just stays on forever. I checked any settings (I have Windows XP, BTW) and they are correct (monitor turns off after 20 minutes), but the monitor still stays on forever. While I can turn off the monitor manually, I liked the old behavior more. Is there something I can do? |
