monitor problems

Options
This is very annoying and I hope that someone can put me out of my misery.....

When I leave my computer unattended for a brief period, the monitor goes into hibernation mode (fair enough) but unlike most when you just jiggle your mouse and it comes on again, my doesn't and I have to turn it off and then back on again.

Solutions will result in a BIG thanks!
