My screensaver and power schemes work OK when set to a one mimute
timeout, but if I set any other interval they will not start.
 
I have repaired XP but no improvement. I would rather not reinstall
XP.
 
Can anybody please give me a fix for this problem

Hi Dave H
   
I also have problems with the power schemes.  In my case, if I set the
time to 1 Min, the monitor shuts down at 1 Min as it should and
returns to life on mouse movement.  If time is set to 2 Min, the
monitor flickers at two minutes and then stays on.  Setting the time
to anything >2 Min results in no action.
 
Running a P4 with XP Home and SP2.  
 
The registry contents WRT to time setting seem to be correct.
 
Another problem I have is infrequent stalling when switching
applications, and once in a while, an auto restart.  The event log
shows hanging applications when this happens. I have turned off
any/all programs that are not in use frequently.
 
I hope someone has some ideas for us

This is exactly the same timing with the standard screensaver problem
I have since I've done a windows update session (also Win XP, SP2,
screensaver: "Windows XP" ).
 
 
I will now try to deinstall my last updates done in this session one
by one and look what will happen. Here's a list of the updates:
 
- ATI Radeon driver (2 times)
- MS .NET Framework 1.1
- Update for Windows XP HighMAT support (KB831240)
- MS Windows Journal Viewer
 
 
Now there is also a the SP1 for .NET available:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=867460
 
I don't know whether this could solve the problem but I'll try this
last because you can't uninstall it.
 
 
Maybe you have analogue experiences with some Windows updates. Or:
Does anybody know whether the .NET SP1 can solve this problem (e.g.
according to the buglist in the link I posted above)?
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Yours
Benny

 Hi Benny,
 
I may well be wrong, but I think that my Power Scheme timing problems
are related to the random application hangs that I am getting.  I
can't relate either the hangs or the timing problems to any event or
softyware change that I am aware of.  I know I had the problems before
I installed SP2.
 
If you find out anything interesting, please post.  I will do the
same.
