Running rig in sig with windows vista 32bit.

I use my pc quite a lot for dlding/compiling etc so it is often on for long periods at a time. However im usually not sat at my computer actually using it especially when compiling source maps etc. I set up powersaving to screensaver after 5 mins and power down screen after 10 mins to try and save a bit of power.

Problem is it wont kick in. Ever.

Tried every powersaving setup i can to turn the screen off after 10 mins none use but to no avail. Hibernation/Sleep doesnt work either but i dont want that because i want my pc to be on just not the screen 24/7. Selecting sleep or hibernation from the start menu works fine but it wont ever kick in automatically.

Anyone come across this at all or know of a workround/fix as its really bugging me.
