Cant turn off screen saver
Hi,

My comp keeps turning on screen saver and even switches monitor off while
watching TV card. I set these settings ounce a day. Is this a Video Driver
problem too?

Am running beta video driver.

Thanks

What software are you using?

If you're using Media Player, it has an option to enable/disable the
screen saver during playback.

Oh-oh...I just found that the setting doesn't work!

I tossed in a DVD today from a movie that skipped on my friends player
and while checking it the screen saver kicked in. I'm pretty sure it
worked before, but I don't normally watch movies on my computer, so
I'm not certain.

I double-checked the option, and even checked/applied and
unchecked/applied to make sure it was picked up by Media Player. But
it still lets the screen saver kick in.

Another bug for final?
