ok i have a question. when i go to bed i watgch tv shows on my monitor and fall alseep watching them. ok i want my monitor to turn off eventually to save on wear and teart and such.
i allready have power options enabled to turn it off after a hour. but lost fot ime i guess when media player is full screened even after the computer is doner playing the file it doesnt turn off..

any ideas.?
 
There's an option in WMP that prevents screensavers from running while you're playing videos. I don't know if that might prevent the monitor from turning off too, but it's a possibility.
Try going to Tools>Options and check the "Allow screensaver during playback" box.
 
i dont know why i ddint think of that.. lol thank you very much. i think that will fix it indeed.
 
No probs...do let me know if it works.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
