apstanto 2 Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I've based my script off of the code found here. The powersave/resume works except I'm having a little trouble with Windows XP (more info). But what I want to solve right now is how to turn on my screen when the computer resumes. I see this in Windows XP. I realize when you set an Automatic System-wakeup Event, it does not turn the display on. So I tried this Monitor On/Off help and it fairly well on it's own with the hot-keys. But the monitor on functionality doesn't seem to work after a standby or hibernate. Any ideas of how to get the monitor back on?Edit: Marked as [solved] Edited September 8, 2010 by apstanto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somdcomputerguy 103 Posted September 8, 2010 So I tried this Monitor On/Off help and it fairly well on it's own with the hot-keys. But the monitor on functionality doesn't seem to work after a standby or hibernate.Can't you just call the _Monitor_ON function in that script? - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

apstanto 2 Posted September 8, 2010 Can't you just call the _Monitor_ON function in that script?Yep, I did. It doesn't seem to have any effect after a resume. I think the System Wake-up Event does something different, not allowing the _Monitor_ON function to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apstanto 2 Posted September 8, 2010 After a resume, if I wiggle the mouse, the screen will come on. So I tried wiggling the mouse with the MouseMove function, but that didn't work either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apstanto 2 Posted September 8, 2010 Finally I was able to solve this! I'm really excited! So here's what I found: according to Microsoft's System Wake-up Events, "When the system wakes automatically, the display is not automatically turned on." I was able to figure out how to get the screen on after a resume. The function below will do it. #cs ********************************************************************************************************* Function Name: _Monitor_ON Author: apstanto Description: Turns the monitor on after a System Wake-up Event and broadcast of PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC Input: None Return: Success: @error = 0. Failure: set @error @error: 1 unable to use the DLL file, 2 unknown "return type", 3 "function" not found in the DLL file, 4 bad number of parameters. #ce ********************************************************************************************************* Func _Monitor_ON() $ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED = 2 DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "long", "SetThreadExecutionState", "long", $ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED) EndFuncI hope this works for you too! 2 PHAK and Earthshine reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This works for me...Thank you... Now I can't figure out how to get the screensaver to go away, I have tried mousemove but it's probably moved in the background. Is there no way to simulate a hardware mouse or keyboard move? I have some unattended distribution at night, the problem is it requires a reboot after the distribution. If the Monitor is off and the screensaver is active(duh) the reboot will be stalled. When a user moves the mouse or press a key on the keyboard the shutdown is triggered. With your help, I'm so close... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
