Using 1.0b on Win 7 x64 Home Premium
Try setting Right Alt + Inster as Hotkey (it will say Ctrl + Alt + Inster, it's 
correct, Right Alt works as Ctrl + Left Alt)
It just doesn't work

This is more of a feature request than a defect. 

Could you please add OpenPandora support? http://getopenpandora.appspot.com/

They have global hotkeys built in and to pause the music you just have to
hit Ctrl+Win+Space.

Great Program!
Thanks!

SETUP:
WinXP SP3, iTunes 10, WMP 9

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start program executable (no installation)
2. ctrl+alt+del and select lock computer
3. Screen goes blank

Defect: Doesn't pause iTunes 10 or WMP 9


(This is a minor issue.  Thanks for your work on this program.)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Spotify
2. Pause it
3. Lock screen
4. Upon resume music begins playing immediately

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should stay paused.
Music begins to play when system is unlocked.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Monitor ES 1.0b
Win 7 Pro 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.

To boot more quickly, I have disabled the need to log in w/ a password on my 
computer (I am the only user).  To keep my password screen, I have placed a 
shortcut to lock the screen in the startup folder.  MonitorES is set to start 
w/ windows therefore the screen should immediately lock and power off when 
Windows starts.  However the screen usually just locks and doesn't power off 
when I startup Windows; I am guessing the computer is locking just b4 MonitorES 
starts and it isn't catching the command.  I have tried putting MonES in the 
startup folder to remedy this but it doesn't change anything.  Perhaps you 
might think about adding a small tweak in which the program checks to see if 
Windows is currently locked when it opens and responds accordingly.

Great prog, Thanks

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Vista SP1.MonitorES_03 with default settings.
2.Lock system. Monitor gets auto off !! Cool.
3.Unlock. MonitorES software is not responding.. Not usable !

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I want the software to work during next lock also.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MonitorES_03 on Vista SP1

Please provide any additional information below.
I like the cool software. Thank you so much.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Win+L with just Auto display off enabled

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Monitor to shut off and stay off. Instead, monitor comes back on after a couple 
minutes

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Win7 64bit using 1.0(b) AND Lite (happens in both)

It happens after a couple minutes, but I don't think it's the monitor's normal 
auto-sleep functionality bringing them back because that's set for 10 minutes. 

Bitdefender detects this program as a virus. I've used a similar program called 
MonitorOff. This was also detected as a virus. Is there something to do about 
it?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. While logged on to a user, press the sleep button on your computer. The 
computer will enter sleep mode (S3/S5).
2. Wake the computer from sleep. The "locked user" screen appears and 
prompts you for the password to unlock the user. 
3. After two seconds, the monitor goes into standby mode, as if you've 
just lock the workstation (which you didn't - the lock was automatic when 
waking from sleep).


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The computer should wake from sleep without having the monitor go into 
standby after a few seconds.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Monitor Energy Saver 0.5 on Windows 7 x64


Please provide any additional information below.

Obviously MonitorES catches the lock workstation event that is fired 
automatically right after waking from sleep (if the "Require password on 
wakeup" option is enabled in the advanced Power Options dialog box. A 
reasonable solution would be to catch the wake from sleep/hibernate event 
and disable the lock workstation event detection for 5 seconds or so. Or, 
it could check if the "Require password on wakeup" option (probably via 
the registry), and if it is enabled, ignore the next lock event.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Runs Monitor ES 04 ( as administrator ) 
2. Lock system. Nothing happens on my office PC.
3. This may be a restricted office PC. For some reason power management has
limited options in this PC. There is no sleep option in this.  

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Monitor should go off after lock.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. An invalid uninitialized pointer gets passed to sprintf() in 
GetProcessPath(), char *sExePath; should be something like "static char

this case.

Request of iTunes Suuport

Reproduce:
1. Lock computer using Win+L or start menu
2. Wait a few seconds
3. Screen turns off, but on again after a few seconds

I expected the screen to stay off, but I think my new wireless keyboard 
(microsoft arc keyboard) is sending some keystroke or something.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate with Monitores 1.0.1b Lite. I have isolated the 
problem to the keyboard, and definitely not the mouse. Turning off the keyboard 
every time I lock Windows would be inconvenient and therefore not a great 
solution.

Anyone with advise or suggestions please help.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run software
2. I can't minimize it to tray.
3. There is not auto start with windows option. Its ok i can add it to startup

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Minimize to tray

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MonitorES_03 . Vista

This is more of an enhancement request.  Any plans on supporting digsby IM
client?  Thanks keep up the great work!

I think that the addition of two tabs to MonitorES would make it even more 
powerful. Having the same settings copied into two tabs labeled AC Power and 
Battery Power would allow laptop users to save even more power and keep their 
personal preferences.

My use for this would be to have the Screen Saver automatically enabled on lock 
when on AC power and to turn off the display automatically on lock when on 
battery power.

Monitor wouldn't need to constantly check to see if the computer is on battery 
or AC; it would only have to check when the monitor is locked.

This seems to work, except when I'm using WMP 11.  It does pause WMP, and
it does turn off the monitors, but within a second or two, the monitors
come back on.  

This doesn't happen if I don't run WMP, the monitors then go off and stay
off until user action takes place.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Please provide any additional information below.
That is all, thank you in advance for you very useful software. Keep up the
good work.

What steps will reproduce the "problem"?
1. Play music
2. Lock the PC (music stops which is cool)
3. Unlock the PC

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When unlocking the PC, music restarts playing since it was playing when we 
locked the PC. I guess this is nice for most people, but I would like an option 
so that the music would not automatically play because I often unlock my PC 
well before putting back my headphone.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0b on Windows 7

Thanks a lot for this nice tool!

Is there a possibility you can add an option to hide try icon, and if you want 
to show it you can run program second time, it will detect that it is already 
running and if tray icon is hidden, it will show it

It would be extremely good to allow people to configure the hotkeys used by
Monitor ES

Visual Studio has a hotkey for Ctrl+F3 and when running Monitor ES is
reponds to the hotkey, not VS. Due to this I am not using Monitor ES and I
want to be.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Pause itunes
2. Lock PC

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Music stays paused. Music starts to play.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.4

Please provide any additional information below.
I had wrote a autohotkey app that responds correctly based off of the
Maximized Software iTunes scripts found here:
http://www.maximized.com/freeware/ScriptsForiTunes/  The pause script here
will pause itunes, if itunes is already paused itunes won't start playing.

Forgive me for posting my "Feature Suggestion" here since I can't find any
other appropriate section.

I would like to suggest an option in a form of checkbox or something to
make this program load on system startup. 

Many thanks for your useful piece of software. Keep up the good work.

I'd like the tool to turn the monitor off when locking the computer, BUT not 
stop the playing music (iTunes in my case).

I tried all the options in the Settings dialog, but it seems there's currently 
no way to turn that "feature" off.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login to Windows; launch MonitorES_03.exe; Monitor Off - Power Saving
2. Press Ctrl+F2; keep hands away from pointing devices

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: monitor fades to black and remains so.
Actual: monitor fades to black, then returns to normal. If locking console
(Ctrl-Alt-Del, Lock), monitor fades to black and returns to normal, fades
to black again and returns to normal again.
