Glad to see I am also not alone...

Like you guys, if I use the photo screensaver (which ONLY works for me
without crashing if it points to a folder without any videos (it used to work
fine with videos), then the screen will NOT power off and the slideshow runs
indefinitely.

However, I WAS able to use another screensaver and the screen WOULD power off.

NOW, with any screen saver, the screen comes back on LIVE instead of
powering off.... then goes through the cycle again, screen saver and pops
back live.. so it never turns off.
I find if I set it all at 2 mins and 3 mins it WILl work.. at 5 and 10 it
doesnt... I do not know why.. I closed ehtray and it still has this issue
oall of the sudden.

Anyone else have this as well?
