bug
My PC Monitor times out or fades to white instead of black.

Everything else is fine, the desktop background, the screensaver all are timed out correctly. I've tried turning the monitor off and on again and even unplugging it overnight. It is a Westinghouse, one year old and I am using Windows Vista. Please keep any answers simple as I am - duh -
