When I select the 3D Maze screen saver, why can't I use Windows 2000's power-saving mode to power down my monitor?

A. If you select the 3D Maze screen saver and you also use Win2K's power-saving mode to power down your monitor, the monitor won't go into power-saving mode as you might expect. Instead, the monitor waits until the screen saver starts, then waits for the power-saving mode timer to expire. This delay is the result of a bug in the 3D Maze screen saver that resets the monitor power-saving mode timer before the screen saver executes. No fix is available for this problem, and Microsoft recommends that users select an alternative screen saver to use with the monitor power-saving mode.
