Changing the Display's Power-management
Settings
A display that has power management capability is designed to operate
on reduced power or shut itself off after the system has been idle for a
specified period of time.
1 From the Start menu, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
2 Double-click the Display icon.
3 Click the Screen Saver tab.
If your display is Energy-Star compliant or has other energy-saving
features, the Energy saving features of the monitor dialog box appear.
Otherwise, the options in the dialog box are grayed out.
4 Select Low-power standby or Shut off monitor.
Selecting Low-power standby blanks the screen (similar to a screen
saver) and automatically reduces power to the display after a
specified amount of time. The display reactivates when you move the
mouse or press a key.
Selecting Shut off monitor automatically turns off the display if the
system has been idle for a specified amount of time. Power is
reactivated when you move the mouse or press a key.
5 Select the number of minutes to wait between the last keyboard or
mouse activity and activation of the power-management settings.
