I recently turned on the option to turn off my monitor after a certain amount of time, and realized it turns off while I'm watching a video on WMP. Any way to make it not happen when a movie is being watched?

Did you go into the power plan settings, click on advanced settings and scroll through the list and enable and disable the settings that control when the system sleeps or otherwise shuts off?

I believe there's an option within WMP to uncheck "enable screen saver during playback" or something.

Screen savers/screen blanking are/is annoying while watching videos but convenient while streaming radio or something. It would be nice if you could differentiate between audio and video playback.
