Yes! I have this exact problem on my home built computer with Vista
Ultimate and on my parents' Gateway computer with Vista Home Premium.
The photo screensaver will not allow the monitor to turn off when it
is set to do so in the power settings. All of the other screensavers
work fine. I have resorted to turning my monitor off when I'm not
around. But this is a pain. I wish they would fix this in one of
their updates! The bug could be with the Photo Gallery program, since
I think Photo Gallery's slideshow is triggered for the photo
screensaver. Please post a solution if anybody has found a work
around.

Thanks.
