    When running xp on my other machine my LG Flatron L1720B always goes into power saving mode when i shutdown windows, but when i put the monitor onto this machine it does not go into power saving mode when i shut down windows 7, it will stay in normal mode but display " a signal cannot be found" message.

    Any ideas why this would happen?

    PS: correct monitor drivers are installed on both machines.

    Can only think of 2 things.
    1) Fiddle around with your display power options. Right click on desktop-Properties-Screensaver tab-Power. Try setting screensaver to none.
    2) Swap around your monitor cables.

    I get a Lg w2261 in Hdmi Mode, each time i shutdown Windows 7, each time monitor enter in auto power saving mode, so with your monitor Info View we can try to fix that.

    On your windows seven as you said you have installed correct driver monitor, but did you try with the default driver installed by Seven ?

    ok, don't know very strange your issue.

    You can try this also :

    - Install Malwarebytes if not already installed, reboot in safemode and run a full scan.

    - Uninstall your graphic card driver and try to shutdown Windows 7.

    A virus? cmon, how does that work when the pc is powered off.

    Poster, Does your monitor go into powersave mode if you pull the power cord from your power supply after shutting down Win7 ?
    Your using the same cable from the XP box versus the Win7 box?

    You said they are completely separate computers? Then it sounds like the XP one is capable of a complete powerdown while the Win7 one is not doing that. Check the Win7 pc BIOS settings and make sure you don't have any wake on lan settings enabled or any option that may allow a trickle of power to get in?

    Win7 pc has onboard video or separate card?

    Need more info/specs regarding both computers hardware.
