I just build a new mce to replace my old. Installed MCE (xp) since I already
own a license i did not consider to buy vista. I have configured and made my
new box work excactly as the old/as I want it to, except one little thing.

In power options/power schemes I change monitor to never, hard drives 10 min
and sleep 30 min. I push apply and OK, and that setting is working quite well
until mce have done a recording (powering up by itself, record) - then the
power options is changed back to the original monitor 20 min, hard drive
never, sleep never. If I change it back it will stay so until next
recording. If I reboot the system it still holds my settings - but as soon as
it turns on by itself to record it changes my settings.

I googled the issue and found 1 guy beliving it to be the latest ATI
catalyst, but I'm not sure about that - uninstalled latest catalyst/driver
and only installed driver after reboot - problem still there. I have a ANTEC
vith VFD (and vfd application) but don't belive that is causing it either.

Can I hard code something in the register to keep my settings? Any other
solutions?
