Ok, so if I go to bed with WMP full screen watching a Film or something, vista won't turn my monitors off until the playlist has finished, but if I'm Watching a DVD with media player classic or lying in bed playing San Andreas, the monitors go off after 20mins, which is really annoying.

I'd like them to still go off after 20mins of non-use as sometimes I end up through in my flatmates room for a few hours and forget I've left the PC on.

Is it possible to tell vista that when something like San An or MPC is fullscreen, it shouldn't turn the monitors off? It's a pain having to get out of bed to move the mouse about a bit every 20mins.
 
I have the same problem, some games I run, example Pro Evo 6 don't stop the screensaver. I'd like to know the solution too.
 
samething happens to me too playing pro evo 6. whilst on the subject of pro evo, is there anyway to force vertical sync? using the option in the ati control panel does nothing. i can still play without it, i just have to suffer massive tearing on screen.... :(
