Monitor turns off in games

Ok, so after 15 minutes of idle use, my monitor goes into low power mode. This is great, except in games. XP wouldn't do this in games, but Vista does and it crashes some of my games. Is there any way to shut this feature off in games but leave it on in the desktop.
Summary: I have a supplementary question..in Msconfig, which is the APM (what else is it called?) ..if i switch off any automatic power management that would probably help, but there's nothinbg listed as "APM"...
Summary: I programmed both 'Power Management' in BIOS and Windows to shutdown my monitor after 5 minutes & my hard disk after 10 mins. The monitor turned off...BUT now my hard disk does not turn off and shows...
