Any thoughts? Don't want to have the monitors on all the time and, as an alternative, could go into "Display" and enable a screen saver. I don't have any good suggestions. This is an item I set up a long time ago and it worked so well I have since taken it for granted. Here is my set up. Comparing it with yours might give you a clue. "Power Schemes" "Always On" "Turn monitor off after" "15 minutes" "Turn hard disks off after" "1 hour" I am still using the first edition of Windows 98.

"Have a problem on my PIII 667/ Windows '98 SE system: When I configure the Power Management options (in Control Panel - Power Management Properties) to turn off my monitors, the computer hangs and forces me to restart when I come back" I have a problem with my power management system also, on a Dell 733. The first time I go to the power management window and set the parameters it works fine. After that the power management feature doesn't work unless I go back to the power management window again. I don't even have to change the settings, just opening the window and closing it resets the power management feature and it works for one more time. I have read messages on other board about power management problems. Any ideas? thanks
