I was hoping for some help with getting Vista's power saving to function. I have a Windows Vista Business Service Pack 1 (x64) installation. I have power options set up as follows:
Turn off the display:
[on battery] 5 minutes
[plugged in] 20 minutes
Put the computer to sleep:
[on battery] 15 minutes
[plugged in] 1 hour
Initially, power saving was working as expected. However, now it never enters power saving mode or even turns off the monitor. I have tried changing the plan settings around (including changing from one plan to another and creating a custom plan with the desired settings) with no success.
Does anyone have any ideas?
** UPDATE 28 Oct ** This was caused by the Vista Photos screensaver! Other screensavers allowed power saving to function, but the Photos screensaver did not.
