on reduced power or shut itself off after the system has been idle for a
specified period of time.

Start

menu, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.

2

Double-click the Display icon.

If your display is Energy-Star compliant or has other energy-saving
features, the Energy saving features of the monitor dialog box appear.
Otherwise, the options in the dialog box are grayed out.

mouse or press a key (as long as the keyboard or mouse are not USB
devices).

system has been idle for a specified amount of time. Power is
reactivated when you move the mouse or press a key (as long as the
keyboard or mouse are not USB devices).
