are you certain you don't have a screen saver running? Here's some info that may help. Open controll panel, open display options, ctrl+tab to the screen savers page, tab to the list and make sure it is set to none. If it is set to none, proceed to the next set of instructions. If it needed to be adjusted, stop here and try leaving the pc alone for a while and see if the issue has been resolved. To effect standby, you will need to open controll panel, power options and find standby. I don't remember whre it is in .98 anymore. Make sure it is turned off. You can also look at the power options and make sure that they are all set to never.

Is there something I can do so it doesn't go into this mode. Or, is there a certain key stroke I need to use to use the computer after this has happened?
