Hello,

Win XP Pro, latest SP's, recently "updated," dual LCD monitors, AMD CPU, ASUS mobo, ATI x800 card....

After two years of flawless operation, remaining "on" 24/7, I recently ran across a problem. I'm suspicious that the Windows Critical updates might have contributed to this.

All video devices have the latest updates and drivers.

The monitors won't go into standby mode anymore. I fiddled with all configs, times and such, but no joy. FWIW, I don't use a screensaver, but tried to enable it, and that won't work anymore either! Before it's suggested, I would not want to use a third party app to do what XP is "supposed" to do, and had done flawlessly.

FWIW, I tried restore to a point before the updates, and no joy there either.

Only issue I've noticed recently was a temporary pa.exe problem that came up while working in an app...but after a reboot, it's there and running.

Something has prevented monitor standby settings. Any ideas? TIA.

Len.
