Screensaver and DVDMax problem

[vitvip]

Hi!

Well, I connected G450 to my TV and generally I am satisfied but there is one thing I don't understand. I tried to search the net, but could not find anything.

DVDMax is for watching movies on TV, right? But when my primary monitor goes into power saving mode the picture on TV disappears. I think simply switching my 19" CRT off is a little rough, it degausses when turning on. To keep it on is distracting and is a waste of power and CRT lifespan.

Am I doing anything wrong? Any workaround exists? All this applies to G450 16MB, latest drivers, Win2000 SP4.

Thanks!

Hi!

When primary monitor goes into power-saving mode, an overlay surface gets disabled, I think. DVDMax will not work without overlay surface.

Switching monitor off manually may be your only option.
