Are you on a laptop? If so are you running on Battery mode? (You can change the power options through Vista settings, and Powersaver always happens with idling unless you change settings

Hi flattout. Manipulating your startups is not likely to resolve this issue. I had a look on the Dell site and quite a few people are reporting similar problems. The fixes range from replacing the monitor to upgrading the video card.
Do you have another monitor you could plug in or can you borrow one? If so, try it and let us know if this helped. If that doesnt help, you could try updating your video card driver from the Dell site. Link here. |

So your monitor is not going into powersave anymore? If you are only having problems viewing videos online, you need to talk to your ISP to make sure the problem is not at their end.
