>>If you only want to power down monitor under NT (not the full APM support), it can be easily done on PCs made after Dec. 96. The BIOS has a function to power down monitor by sending VESA commands to video card. All video cards made after late '95 (from major vendors) implement DPMS in the video BIOS. Well, that never worked for me. Guess my luck doesn't hold with power downs <g>. That was the first thing I tried but never any luck either. Will have to try the shareware program mentioned. BTW: We do have a habit on this thread of beating things to death :) Sean
