monitor not shutting off after 15 minutes

I set my power plan to turn off my monitor in 20 minutes (my screensaver comes on in 15 minutes) but it won't turn off my monitor. This used to work fine in Windows XP.
I have an nVidia 6800 with a Dell 2001FP flat screen. I don't know what else you might need.

I am having exactly the same issue. I am running a Nvidia 6200OC with a 17" Mag flatscreen. I am glad to see that I am not the only one. Other than that, it seems to be working fairly well. No error messages, no BSOD, and it actually found all my devices.

You may have some processes running in the background that Windows is recognizing as activity on the user's part. Check to see what you have running.

I have been dealing with support on the screensaver issue. when the monitor turned off as scheduled, after a few minutes it came on again with the screensaver active and none responsive to a wiggle of the mouse. The Vista team said the same issue happened when they checked it. I now have my screensaver set to "none" and my monitor set to turn of after 15 minutes. It stays off! I'll live without a screensaver until the problem is resolved. -- Keith.
