In my case it's not a screensaver that is the problem (I just want it to go
dark so my dog can get to sleep :-)), it is the system going to standby. The
utility has NEVER been able to run correctly without setting up my system to
NEVER go to standby. At the present time, the system is set to "turn off
monitor" then "turn off hard disks" but NEVER go to standby. This is through
the Display Property; Power Schemes" option on Windows. And that worked OK
until the revision. Now, as I said in my earlier email, the system will not
go dark until I deactivate any LUT settings/checking, which I consider bad
software (as one who goes back to punch cards & Fortran).

As it is, when I work on my photographs I re-activate everything, take an
ambient light reading, and go on with my job. But why do I have to waste
that time? And, no, it's not a big deal, but the rest of my software does
NOT have this problem, so why does yours? I've been your customer for longer
than I care to remember, but some of the newbies who are evaluating your
system, and may not be as "computer literate" as others, may dismiss
Datacolor as defective. If I were in management, I'd be concerned.
Fortunately, I'm retired and loving it.

Runs fine, but lacks the safety feature. I have to ask what the concern over
screensavers is, in the age when they don't save anything?
