From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 19 Feb 2010 15:34 One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party applications may be disallowing the changes from "sticking." These include anti-spyware applications (e.g., Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer, SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, WinPatrol, etc), anti-virus applications & security suites (Norton, McAfee, ESET/NOD32, Kasperky, Trend Micro, etc.), and third-party firewalls (e.g., Zone Alarm, etc.). Note that temporarily disabling the application(s) or rebooting into Safe Mode may not disable the application's system protections.

Many of the newer monitors these days also have an inactivity timer to blank the monitor after so many minutes. That would be a menu that's actually from the monitor, not the computer. HTH, Twayne -- Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue.

Have you manually entered Stand By mode (from Start, Turn Off Computer) just to be sure you know what your system looks/sounds like when it really is in Stand By mode? Describe the appearance of the system when it appears to go into Stand By mode by itself and the appearance when you enter Stand By manually - any difference? What happens when you press the power button to bring it around under both circumstances? |
