Re: filmscanners: Matrox and Monitor standby

Try the following settings in the from your Control Panel:

Display - Screen Saver - Settings (at the bottom re Energy saving
features) - Power schemes "Always On"

System standby "Never"

Turn off monitor:  After [your choice - any time you want for your workflow]

I don't recall where I read it but I think the Energy savings settings
interfere.  I had this problem before, and these settings have worked for me
even after replacing the original video card with a dual-head nVidia.

Subject: filmscanners: Matrox and Monitor standby


| Slightly off topic here, sorry about that. Recently installed a Matrox
G450 on my W98 (not SE) machine, and now I can't wake the computer/monitor
up after the monitor only has gone into Standby after x minutes of idleness.
It hangs, and has to be re-booted.

| Not the end of the world, but a nuisance. I've researched the Microsoft KB
and the Matrox website for a fix, with no success. Has anyone a solution
please?
