I am running Win_2k and my power settings will not operate correctly. I have it set for the monitor to go off after 15 min. and the hard drive after 1 hour but it will not work. I have tried every thing I know how to do. I have never encountered this problem with any other operating systems before. Is their a solution?

Make sure the power options are disabled in the BIOS

It might be due to a couple of things:
1. you may be experiencing power flactuation, and so your computer is a bit offset.
2. check your drivers are current for win2k
