I don't think I had a problem with my monitor shutting down to go into sleep mode, until I changed the time for when the screen savor comes up. Now I notice the monitor doesn't shut down in 20 minutes, like it should. Also, I set it to shut down in a minute, which it did, but it woke back up and went into the screen savor. As far as I can see, it shouldn't do this. Is this a comment problem, where an update would fix? Cause the monitor should shut off after 20 minutes. Excuse me for not going to read all the updates. Thanks

Thanks Toey. That looks like it should do the trick, I'll have to try it out. Come to think of it I did change my screen saver too, to the 3D Pipes. Which shows to be one of the problem screen savers on your link.
