ADODB.stream update caused monitor shutdown?

Interestingly, I applied this Windows update to 3 work W2K SP4+ machines and on one of the PC's the monitor shutdown every 20 mins (the annoying default setting on a new Windows install) even though monitor turn off was set to never under the screen save tab. Restarting the PC didn't fix, but a brief powerdown did. Probably just a coincidence? But interesting that it was the only system change on this PC.
Was expecting to do an uninstall, but probably won't need to.

 

There is no way, no how, that reg tweak could cause that phenomenon. I'd suspect that the reboot following the patch exposed the deal. Pretty interesting that the settings looked ok when you checked them out. Wonder if the profile had a little problem on that first reboot, but cleaned itself up the second go-round.

 

I'd say something stayed resident in memory, and a 240v shutdown cleared the memory. Interesting that it happend after only this update. As I said probably unrelated. But if it happens to someone else...?
