I suspect this is an easy fix, but I can't figure it out...
On my T61, the screen will turn off (I'm guessing for screensaver, which is set to "None" in Display Properties) and then turn right back on again. I looked for a conflict between Power Options (Windows Control Panel) and ThinkVantage Power Manager, but Power Manager seems all greyed out and with no active Power Scheme. Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
Paul

Re: display off then on again
Giday Paul,
> not sure if this would help your issue , but I had the same(model) T61 as you once........... and did notice same kinda thing ,,,, but then I quickly upgraded to Win7 x64 and sicne the upgrade it didnt do that....
So am thinking could be driver conflict (TVT) with Windows Screensaver. I have bad experainces with TVT software and for long time i never installed them - any laptops with them - got quickly rid off!
Hope this give you some ideas to fix the annoyin screen ....
PM sent....
cheers
