Screen Saver / Power Management

I have set the screen saver and power management setting but the screen saver never seems to come on and the monitor does not shut off after the set time.  Running Win XP Pro on the Dimension 8400.  PC is brand new.  I have check the wake up setting on the network cards.

    Aracarn,
     
    Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
     
    Have you checked what applications are running in the background?
     
    Go to Start-Run and type in msconfig and hit enter.  The System Configuration Editor allows you to choose what loads as the system boots.  Choose Diagnostics startup and hit ok.  Say yes to reboot.  When the system boots up you will see the boot menu, make sure that Normal mode is highlighted and hit enter.  The system will now boot without loading any of the configuration files shown in the System Configuration Editor.  Please use the system like this and see if the problem happens again.  If it does not, then  you can use the System Configuration Editor to determine which file is causing the problem.
     
    The System Configuration Utility should be used to diagnose the problem.  After finding the problem and correcting it, you should set it back to Normal Startup.
