When a Windows Vista-based computer exits Away mode because of a timed event, the computer’s LCD monitor unexpectedly turns on

Consider the following scenario:

  • You are running a Windows Vista-based computer.
  • An LCD monitor is connected to the computer.
  • The computer exits Away mode because of a timed event, such as a scheduled recording in Windows Media Center.

In this scenario, the LCD monitor unexpectedly turns on.

For example, consider a scenario in which the following specific conditions are true:

  • On a Windows Vista-based computer that has Away mode enabled, you schedule a TV recording in Windows Media Center.
  • You press the power button on the Media Center remote, or you press the SLEEP key on the keyboard. The computer enters Away mode.

In this scenario, the LCD monitor unexpectedly turns on when the scheduled TV recording starts.
