Hi akadoublej & welcome to discussions.

You have the choice to use an image of whatever background color you like, or to deactivate/sleep the monitor or sleep the computer...

What I'd like to do is sleep the monitor for a half hour after 3 minutes of inactivity and then sleep the computer after a half hour of inactivity. How do I do this?
