For the last week or so my monitor has not been powering off as it is
set to do in Power Options. In the past this has been cured by
changing the setting (e.g. arbitrarily selecting 15 mins instead of 20
mins) and re-booting my XP PC (a fairly rare event, as I like it on
pretty well permanently). But lately that's not fixed it.

Any ideas please?

Once I had that problem becouse of an old Mouse. If you sure your settings
are correct and there is no virus problem. Check your input devices.

Any ideas please?

Check the settings on your display adapter in device manager and see if windows is allowed to handle it's power usage to save energy. Some devices allow that.
