I have an ATI VGA small wonder, which has the same option, and it works fine except in MS Windows. In windows it will blank, but it won't bring the screen back after pressing a key, so here is my solution to the problem: Use VSETUP to have screen save on when booting up the computer Start programs that cause problems with a batch file. The batch file will look something like the following: VCONFIG save off WIN (or whatever command you need to start the program causing the problem) VCONFIG save on I hope this helps...

I have the same problem when I run Windows. My "solution" came by accident. The NUMLOCK key works. My configuration is DOS 3.3, MS Windows 2.1 (286 runtime with Excel), and the public domain BURNOUT 2.3 or some such. Has a settable delay, and blanking can be forced with left shift-control keys. --Phil Burton--
