Ever since SpyderUtility began living in the System Tray, I've noticed that periodically, my screensaver mysteriously stops (and the monitors come back to life) without any PC activity to c ause it. This change coincided with my installing and running the Spyder software. Could SpyderUtility be causing this?

Perhaps, but with LCD displays, screensavers don’t actually save your screen, the same wear and tear is occurring whenever they are on. So putting the displays to sleep (turning the backlights off) is the only thing that accomplishes anything, so screensaver functions are not really very useful, and might as well be turned off, unless you enjoy the pictures or actions they display.
