I searched for a while through the Internet to finally find a comment with the answer: in a multi-screen configuration, if you want to turn the screens off without Windows disabling them, you just have to disable PCI-Express energy savings.
- Control panel
- Energy saving things
- Energy schema window->Edit scheme settings (a blue link on my machine) Next to the actual settings mode
- You can see a window where you can set up the monitor automatic turn on and off. Here is a link Special energy settings thing…
- A new window comes up, where you can see all the devices, such as USB, HDD and so on.
- Find the PCI Express device, and turn the energy savings off

Well I tried it but it didn’t go to it. Can you tell us how to get to where you turn it off. I even tried the windows menu but it didn’t match anything. Run still doesn’t. I’m using a Dell 170FVP monitor so there is a little connector on the back between the VGA port and the 2 USB ports as well.
But that doesn’t do it either and my other monitors I’m using are a flat screen t.v and my built-in-display on my laptop. My laptop says it is working perfectly. Uh, no it’s not. It’s working perfectly when it is not on. I mean hello, wake up. Plus my laptop detects it but not letting me use it.
I can duplicate desktop on 1 and 3. But it says I have to apply before making additional changes, I do that I make additional changes still doesn’t work.
So can you help me my graphics card is an Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family. Tell me if you know how to change the settings.
Regards and thanks anyways.
