Power Options Problem...

I have a Dimension 4100 866 Mhz computer, and I just installed Windows XP Professional a few days ago. I have my power settings set so that the moniter should turn off after 25 minutes, but it never does, the screensaver just stays on. This was not a problem when I had ME. Does anybody know what would be causing this? I tried using a different screensaver but that didn't make a difference...moniter still will not shut off on it's own. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Hi -- I had a similar problem. For some reason, when I stopped using a screen saver, my monitor would finally go to sleep. -- T.

    HI,
    I have a Demension 4100. My power options used to work. My daughter was on the computer to close uneeded programs. Now, the monitor turns off if the computer is left unattended, but it never goes into hibernate. Why? Perhaps she did something? How do I fix it???
