Can't Turn Off Display Completely in XP

Hi,
My MacBook Pro screen does not turn off after idling in XP. I'd to be able to turn the display off (even manually) without putting the computer completely to sleep.
When I dim the screen all the way down in XP, the lowest setting is not off, just very dim. I can put the computer to sleep by closing the lid, but I'd like to have programs still running in the background with the screen completely off.
In OSX it's fine, the display turns off properly when dimming or after idling.
The closest solution I've found in XP is to set a black screensaver, but this is not the same as the display being turned off.
My System:
MacBook Pro 17" Penryn
Nvidia Gforce 8600M GT
Display Driver Version: 6.14.11.67.63
Direct X 9.0c
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Randy

go to control panel, click on power option or
management whatever, then go to battery, and u
should see the options.
Thanks, but that was not working for some reason. Getting the new drivers fixed it.

How can I turn off "Tabs" completely?

My Firefox just updated to the latest version. In all previous versions I was able to turn off tabbed browsing, but can not seem to find that option in the latest version. I absolutely HATE tabs. One of the reasons I continued to use Firefox was that I could shut the tabs off. If this is the way the Firefox browser is heading I will have to discontinue using it on all of our computers. We use multiple screens so that we can have any new windows pop up on the second screen and easily close them without disrupting the original browser window. Also we like to keep the browser bar at the top of the screen minimized as much as possible. With the tab bar in the way it causes the browser bar to take up too much valuable screen space. Please add the option to remove tabbed browsing back in.

How can I turn off iCloud completely?

Hello guys,
configuration: MacBook Pro with current Lion, iPad and iPhone both with iOS 4, NOT using iCloud.
I switched ON iCloud on my MacBook Pro to see what happens. Then I tried to switch it off again since I decided that I don't want the system to push everything I do on my computer up into the iCloud, congesting my network.
Now when I tried to turn off iCloud for my Documents and Data, it says that all data stored in the iCloud would be deleted from my Mac. ****, what's that? Will I now never again be able to detatch my computer from this iCloud thing without losing all my files?
Please help!
Many thanx in advance
Keksi

An Apple guy explained to me that when I switch off iCloud for my documents, only those files would be removed from my mac, which I have explicitly UPloaded into the iCloud. Since I didn't upload any files, I could safely switch it off without losing any files.
It was more complicated switching off iCloud for iCal, because I had to convert manually all my calendars from 'iCloud calendar' to 'local calendar'. Because switching ON iCloud turns all local calendars automatically to iCloud calendars.
To do that, I had to export all my iCloud calendars to files, then delete the iCloud calendars, and then re-import the exported calendars. After that, they were again local calendars. To export an iCloud calendar, click on the "Calendar" button in iCal, then right-click on a calendar and choose "Export...", then type in a file name and click "Export".
I did that for all my calendars and so successfully switched off iCloud.
Now I just have many calendar entries two, three, four, or even five times duplicated in my calendar (which is not visible in iCal, but only on my iPhone and iPad)! I don't want to remove all those duplicates by hand (there are far too many), and will ask the apple support to help me.
Best regards
Keksi

HT5463 How can I turn off silence completely?

In the Do Not Disturb settings, under Silence, I can choose only Always or Only while iPhone is locked. I want to choose Never. How can I do that?
Thanks.

The setting under silence makes no difference unless Do Not Disturb is activated. That gives you the choice to decide how you want Do Not Disturb to act when it is turned on. When off, those settings do not control anything.

How can I turn off my MBP completely

I checked the file "/private/var/log/daily.out" which generated by script "periodic daily".
The log shows Mac do this script at 3:15 AM everyday since I install the system.
I'm surely I shuts down Mac through "Apple Menu" > "Shuts Down" everyday before that time.
Does this means Mac always keep working even if shuts it down?
Then, how to turn off it completely?

If the periodic scripts don't run at the time they're scheduled (in 10.6.x) because the computer is off or asleep, they'll run automatically the next time you boot. (You can also run them whenever you want from the command line or using myriad third-party utilities.)

How can I turn off my mac completely

I checked the file "/private/var/log/daily.out" which generated by command "periodic daily".
The log shows Mac do this command at 3:15 AM everyday since I install the system.
I'm surely I shut down Mac everyday and never works at that time.
Does this means Mac always keep working even if shut it down?
Then, how to turn off it completely?

If it shows that it is running the daily script at 3:15, it isn't shut down. It is just sleeping.
If you just close the lid, it goes to sleep. Unless you actually shut it down prior to closing the lid, it doesn't shut down.
The scripts do not run if it is sleeping or shut down. If it is sleeping, it will run them when it wakes. If it is shut down, it won't run them.

Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

now I have this and it still doesn't work.
