Power Save/Backlight problem
I have a problem with multiple windows 7 systems that i need a resolution for if possible.
Apparently there is a known fault with windows 7 where if you go to a powersave mode to turn the screen off, when the timer is reached and the screen should shutdown, the backlight for the screen remains on. I'm seeing this on 6 different systems all running the same version of Ultimate (Different CD keys, installed from a USB key after making a copy from an original Ultimate disc i bought, tho one machine used a different copy and still has the same problem).
I've looked around and apparently it's a known issue on Windows 7 that the backlight wont turn off when powersave is activated, has anyone got an actual fix for this? I've seen a few utilities around that turn the screen off properly for you, but they need to be manually turned on which defeats the purpose of a timer.
