My monitors timeout is extermeley low. Only sixty seconds. In windows it says that the timeout is ten minutes but the View Sonic that i have can only go up to one minute. Can someone help me, I'm going crazy!

Are you mixing up two settings in Windows:
- The screen saver timeout is how long (mouse/keyboard is idle) before the screen saver starts.
- The Power setting is how long before the computer cuts off the signal to the monitors (which normally causes them to go into stand by).
If the second is less than the first, then you'll see the monitors power off before the screen saver.
In the screen saver settings dialogue there will be a button/link to take you to power settings.
