Monitor won't go into power saving mode...please help

[russr]

Hi, I'm using WindowsXP Professional, geforce ddr card, and the 23.11 nvidia drivers. No matter what drivers I use, I notice that if I use a 3d Screensaver, such as 3d text or 3d Windows XP, the monitor won't go into the power saving mode ever. If I use a non3d screensaver, it works. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if there is a fix.

Thanks

my guess is that the 3d stuff keeps the monitor awake. i've seen the same thing happen on my win98 & win-me setups.

Yah, I agree... My choice for power savings has always been the power switch, but I am sure that is not what you are looking for...
