Monitor Power Saving – Does not work!

[patkim]

I have set the Home/Office power setting profile and set 2 mins to auto off monitor.
However the monitor does not go into power saving after two minutes of idle time.

The screen saver setting does work, however power saving does not somehow.
I am wondering what’s wrong. Earlier it was working properly.

Sys Config: Daewoo 14'' Color, AMD Athlon 2000, Biostar M7NCG 400 Mobo, Win XP SP3...it's an old config, more than 5 years old!!

Create a new administrator profile and see if the settings work for there.
