I had this problem (screen peace stopping all other processes while blanking 
the screen) while using Win/286 on a 286 machine. While printing a long 
document using Word for Windows the screen would blank (screenpeace) and it 
would stop printing. I'd try getting a newer version of Windows (I may have 
been running 3.0, it was a while ago, but I can't remember), a newer version 
of screenpeace, or get rid of screenpeace and turn your monitor off/dim it 
when leaving it alone.
