Right click on any blank area of the desktop. Select properties and click on
the screen saver tab. In there click on the Power option at the bottom.
Disable the option to shut the monitor off - you can just pick the option
"Always On" if you'd like. This will prevent it from shutting the monitor
off in the future though it will leave your PC on all the time and you'll
probably want to shut it off using the start > shutdown option.
