I'm new to Macintosh land.. Bought a new iMac on Monday, lovely machine BTW.. My screen dims after about two minutes. I can't find the setting to change this. Some help would be appreciated. This is really screwing up my youtubeing.

Apple Menu (top left corner)/System Preferences/Energy Saver allows you to change these settings.

Thanks.. It was under Options. That was my downfall.

Once again, Thank you.

Changing that preference doesn't work consistently, so don't be surprised if you still get the dimming. One of those many things I'm hoping will be fixed in 10.5 .
