Odd Screen Saver problem

I have two different machines that exhibit this problem.

OS XP Pro SP1

Screen saver selected is "Blank" set for 15 minutes.
Power managment is "Turn monitor off after" 20 minutes.

after making these settings it works fine for a while. But eventually "Forgets them" It may take 1 hour or more to go blank or monitor off. If you reset them both every thing is fine for a few more days. The settings are still "set" it is just not using them.

Any Ideas ?

One system is my Intel rig with 9800 pro aiw and 4.5 Cats
and the other is an NF7 with ati Rage 128 pro ultra gl agp using windows drivers.

    My monitor doesn't always go into blank mode (10 minutes in my case). I don't have to adjust the settings, though. It just goes back to working right on its own.

    I've experimented with making sure that any windows I may have open are not "active", but can't really see much difference. About every 5th time I leave the computer for more than ten minutes (this might take a week :p ) it just leaves the screen on.

    Maybe someone else has an idea?
