Only two places I can think of where you could adjust the settings.

Either in Windows - Control Panel - Power Options, where you should be able to change from "Laptop" to "Always On" and then click "apply".......(I assume it runs an earlier version of Windows (98?) but should be similar process to XP)

or the Laptop's BIOS settings:-

Have a look in "TSETUP". Its accessed by pressing ESC during startup. See if there are any options in there.

I access the power options on my old Tosh by right clicking anywhere in the background, and go to "Properties". Then click Screen Saver and have the following settings for mapping:
Screen Saver - None
Energy Saving Features of this monitor: Plugged in I select "Never" for all 3 boxes
Then press "OK" (and not "apply")for each of the screens so the new settings stick.
I'm guessing you've done exactly the same :-((

If none of that worked, I'd reformat the computer.

Signman how did you go, what age is yours I've had mine for six to seven years can't insult it. If you are still looking for solution I could possibly help.
