Media Player Classic - Disable Powersave during playback?

[Codster]

Hello Everyone;

I am using MPC. I have a new Laptop (Vista x64). And when it runs off battery I set the screen to shutoff in 3 mins (Powersaver).

Watching a movie in Windows Media Player 11 is fine. Even running off battery it disables the Powersaver and screensaver, so I watch without interuption.

Running the movie in MPC only allows me to watch 3 mins, then the screen shuts off and I have to move the mouse again to get the screen back. (Powersave). why is MPC not diabling Powersave?

I can't seem to find the option in MPC. Where is the "disable screensaver or powersave during video playback" feature? Maybe this is only a vista issue (doesn't have significant prevligious to alter powermode?)

If anyone else has this problem, or knows what to do to fix it. Please inform me!! Thanks!
It gets tedious chaning the power options of the vista computer everytime i want to watch a movie off battery... I end up just using WMP11 which I hate.

It is a Vista issue. =\ Vista has a new power (ACPI) API and deprecates the old one. I don't know if Casimir's update fixes the problem, but I think it's been reported for that one as well. Still, if it ever gets fixed, it'll be on that one.

Thank you very much;

I have tried "Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (by Casimir666)" and with the latest edition it does fix this problem.

I can now watch my full screen movies without the powersave interrupting (with Cashmirs mod)

thanks again
