I just started using the Coaching Software to perform interval workouts using erg files.  During the last 2 workouts, I kept having to reach over to my laptop and move the mouse to refresh the screen as it kept disappearing, kinda' like a screensaver kicking on.  I checked my control panel and screensaver settings and it's set for 210 minutes.  So that's not the problem.  I never had this problem when I did workouts in 3D mode.  Could someone please tell me what I can do to remedy this as it's not fun having to reach over to my laptop during the middle of one of those threshold intervals?  Thanks in advance.

    Weird. If screen settings are at 210, you shouldn't have this problem. I'll check my CT settings and see if I can figure it out for you.

    I may have figured this out.  I went to the bottom tool bar where it shows picture of battery charging (power plan).  Clicked on this and then "choose when to turn off the display."  I then changed the time for turning off the display when plugged in from 20 minutes to 2 hours.  I think this will do it because my display seemed to be going off every 20 minutes during today's interval session.

    Yep...power settings have to be "tuned" to avoid this.  CT manual said it's software will take control of the screensaver, but that power management settings might cause the screen to shut off.  Don't recall how to adjust this exactly, but it's in the setup manuals online.

    Yea, shortly after posting this I figured out how to adjust the "power management" settings and ever since haven't had that issue.  Thanks for your reply.
