Hi,
I got a problem with the power management of xp. i set turn off tv/screen to never (with administrator permissions) , but after using mp it's set back to 20 minutes and password is required again (althoug i turned that off, too) when windows reenters after standby. has anybody same oder similar experiences? and even more important, has anyone a solution?

so problem solved after 3 hours research on google.
for anyone who might have this problem in future (in combination with a ati vga):
execute "services.msc", stop and deactivate "ATI Hotkey poller".
go to power management and set settings as you like, now everthing should stay as it is.
