Monitor power save mode

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.setup (More info?)

Morning, I would like to know if there is a way to
switch off the monitor power save mode, ( which turns
screen off until mouse is moved or key pressed) as per
previous windows, as I would like to run a screen saver
and not have to wait for monitor to come back up every
time I have a break from use. I was informed by somebody
that this feature was never added to Windows NT. Any help
would be much appreciated.

Thankyou, Iain.

Look for a setting on your monitor for this. Windows NT can not see and or
configure a monitor.

Hi Iain,

DPMS power saving for compliant monitors and video card hardware is available
for FREE for NT4.0 here: http://www.dev-labs.com/dpms/

This package is used extensively by myself and many others who want this
feature. With the exception of some 'very non-standard' video hardware from
Diamond multimedia, I have never seen it give any problems on any machine on
which it has been installed

Hope this helps,

Calvin.
