>>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>. >>If you don't know how to do it, get a manual from the motherboard BIOS manufacturer. Of course I can screw anything up, but I set the setting that said it would power down the monitor. Uh-uh. I do have the manuals, btw. If you know a secret, spill it please. Spots
