Why does my monitor power off despite my power plan telling it not to?

Why does my monitor power off despite my power plan telling it not to? I am developing a web thin-client for an information kiosk running Win7. I make sure the screen saver is turned OFF and the "Turn off display" setting is set to NEVER.

"Heard back from our IT guys...

Our computing labs have a refresh policy that resets display properties and power plans in case students modify. With hundreds of computers across campus, it saves a wad of energy to have them power down when not being used.

So for folks experiencing a similar mystery, check with your administrator for group policies that reset or refresh power plans across the network."

"HD Tune can also produce similar results by resetting the monitor's power setting. Version 4.5 (Pro only I think) added a way to deselect this feature.
In options under the ""General"" category, uncheck ""Allow change of power settings during tests""."
