Why does the Display get Dim after 20 Minutes under Windows2000 / XP ?

Error Description

Under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the display gets dim after 20 minutes and cannot be reactivated with the touchscreen. Depending on whether or not the keyboard can be connected subsequently, (refer FAQ on keyboard ), it may not be possible to reactivate the display.

Cause and Correction

This error occurs because under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, a monitor turn-off time of 20 minutes is defined for each newly created user. This monitor turn-off by the Windows power management also deactivates the touchscreen. This setting has been predefined by Microsoft and cannot be modified in advance.

It is, therefore, necessary for every newly-created user under Windows 2000 and XP to set the monitor turn-off time in system control under "energy options" to "never".

Please remember that the user also possesses the rights necessary to change the energy options!

noax utilize the integrated micro controller to either dim or turn off the display after a certain time. These settings can be adjusted with the help of suitable tools from the download area .
