Hi all, hope someone can help,i recently had a new computer with vista installed but when i search web pages a blank screen comes up after about 5 mins or sometimes 2 or 3 mins i can escape this but it is annoying as it even comes on when i play a legal music cd,dose anyone know how to stop it coming on in the first place,hope someone can help: this is my first post Steve.

When you say blank screen, do you mean monitor picture goes off?

If so, go to control panel

Power options

click top left on choose when to close down display.

hi thanks for replying but what happens is the internet page gose white so what i do is press the windows key on my keyboard,then the task bar shows up,so in the task bar about blank is running so i right click which then shows a window so i can left click the close option which shuts down blank then it dose not come on again during that session,but dose when i log on again it is almost like a screen saver coming on but it is just a blank white page.
