Win MCE 05 - My screensaver is set to activate in 10 minutes and my monitor
set to turn off in 15 minutes. Neither happens even after hours of no use,
with only Norton AV & Firewall running in the task bar. How do I fix this?
Any help is much appreciated. Have a great holiday season.

I have the same thing happening on my system. It appears to have
happened after installing my Lexmark printer software, but their site
is worthless for support.

Anyone?

Everything I can find relates to "ehtray.exe" running. This activates after
starting Media Center. If you "end Process" through task manager, the screen
saver works again. I have seen on other forums mention of a MS hotfix to
this, but that was before MCE 2005 came out which I have. You think that it
would have been added to MCE 2005 code? Not sure on this still searching for
an answer.
