Power Schemes Mode Disabled in XP?

Amities · 10-20-2002, 05:14 PM

Hi,

I purchased SereneScreen a few days ago after seeing it run on a colleagues computer. It was too beautiful NOT to buy.

It installed without any problems at all & I set it up to be my default screen saver on my WinXP machine. Since I leave my computer on all day & night, I have the Power Schemes mode set to turn off the monitor after 1 hours & the HD after 2 hours. Even with these settings, nothing turned off.

Then I tried just running SereneScreen as a program (but with a regular screensaver set & the same Power Schemes modes) but again nothing turned off.

Is there some setting that I am overlooking?

Amitiés

The aquarium basically turns off power saving mode. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future verion. I switch off my monitor before I walk away from the computer for long periods.
