Screensaver problem

I just got a new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium, and when it times
out and the screensaver is supposed to appear, instead it says "No Signal
Input" and the monitor seems to just shut down (goes dark). Any suggestions?

Hi,

Have you checked for a display driver update from the manufacturer?

According to the mfr (Westinghouse), the monitor should be completely
Plug-and-Play, but I did email them with the question as well.

Thanks.

Maybe your monitor is set to shut off after the same (or less) amount of
time that your screensaver is set to activate.
Start - Control Panel - Power Options
change plan settings
turn off display (mine is set to 1 hour)

Hi,

Not the monitor but the display adapter, it may be integrated into the
motherboard or an add-on card. Device Manager should be able to tell you
what the make is.
