I have a reoccurring problem with the screen saver locking up my main monitor when I come back to the computer from time away from it, the power saver kicks in and turns my monitors off, when I return and give the trackball a little jiggle, The #1 monitor is stuck with which ever graphic screen saver my Bionic is running. The only thing I can do is power down the computer itself and re-start it.

Has this problem been addressed before or does anyone have a clue how to prevent this?

I am using a ATI graphics card and XP

Read it... thanks for the reply but this post is no help. The screen saver will not disengage when I come back and "awake" my computer...
