Win7 not letting display go to sleep

[tookie]

hi everyone, my problem is as stated in the title.. my display doesn't go to sleep, even after setting it at 1 minute. are there any applications that can tell me what is staying active, thus preventing display sleeping?

thanks!

ok! i've found the cause of the problem. it's the audio.
1) when my firefox isn't on, radio wasn't streaming, monitor can go to sleep
2) firefox on, radio stream, monitor can't go to sleep
3) firefox on, turn off radio, monitor can go to sleep

will try with music player next. thanks for the help!

edit: itunes allows display to sleep. browsers prevent windows from letting display going to sleep??? tried with firefox and chrome. they don't let the display sleep when they are streaming audio.
any idea how i can prevent this from happening?
