Power scheme do not work once I use Youtube.

[Diablo]

I have Windows XP SP3 OS installed on my system and use Opera browser. I use Windows Power option to automatically turn of my monitor after 2mins of inactivity. The problem is whenever I watch Youtube video or any other flv video on my browser the 'Power Scheme' stops working. Meaning after 2mins monitor goes standby for a second and again becomes active. Then I have to go in 'Power Options', change the power scheme and revert back to old scheme. This is getting extremely irritating to me. Anyone please give me a solution to this problem.

Edit: I had similar problem earlier when I used VLC player, whenever I used VLC power scheme used to stop working. But I turned off some option(don't remember the name) and things started to work fine.

Might be due to Hardware Acceleration. Not entirely sure. Try turning it off in flash options.

Actually I installed Windows 7 recently so I don't have that problem anymore, but when I was using XP I did turn it off but whole video started to run laggy, so I turned it ON again. I don't think though acceleration might be causing any problem.

Perhaps I misunderstand, but I'm reading this to mean

1) You've got a Power Scheme option to automatically turn off your monitor after 2 minutes of inactivity (inactivity defined as not using mouse/keyboard)

2) You watch a Youtube video for presumably 2 or more minutes, during which you're not touching the keyboard/mouse

3) As a result, the monitor goes into standby. But it doesn't work perfectly, the monitor then turns back on.

I kinda fail to see how this is a problem. In such a situation, you'd simply disable the option to turn off the monitor.

If I've misunderstood the situation, feel free to correct me.

You got it kinda wrong,

1)This point is right.

2) I don't stream Youtube directly through the browser, instead I download the video using IDM(Internet Download Manager) and watch it later. But to start the download I need to open the YouTube website at least once.

3) I close my browser after the download starts, as the result monitor does not go in standby, it does go in standby for a second then wakes up immediately. This goes on every 2 mins.

To solve this I have to change my Power Scheme and revert back the old Scheme, I have to do this each time I use Youtube or watch Flash based videos on any other website.
