Monitor shuts down when set for Never

I have a Windows XP SP2 system where I do NOT want either the screen saver to
activate or the monitors to shut down. I have set the screen saver to None
and the power scheme for the monitor to Never; however, after twenty (20)
minutes, the monitor shuts off. I have also checked the BIOS for any
relevant settings, there are none. Any suggestions?

Re: Monitor shuts down when set for Never

Does your monitor itself have a power setting?

APM active in the BIOS settings?

The BIOS does not have ARM nor do the monitors have a power saver setting.
