I have tried setting screen save eevery way - even at 1 minute when plugged in - and it never kicks in. Screen stays illimunated all night if I let it.

Can someone tell me how to get it working?

Thanks.

Which Operating System are you using?

Do you close program like Email or instant messenger so that you computer is doing anything?

Another alternative that I do is just turn the monitor off when I walk away for extended periods of time. Screen savers aren't really necessary anymore with lcds.
