I have to agree here. I installed Prime95 on my parent's computer, and
took it off again after I found out the screen saver keeps going after
windows turns the monitor off (3D flowerbox or something like that).
I guess I overestimated microsoft's intelligence when I actually
expected the screen saver to quit after the monitor was blanked (end
eventually turned off).
Is there any way somebody could modyfy this behavious?
