Publisher's description of EZ Wizard
From The Cadmus Group:EZ Wizard provides a simple point-and-click interface to enable you to monitor power management on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP systems, saving up to $50 a year in energy costs. Personal computers use more energy than all other desktop and office equipment combined. Unfortunately, much of this energy is needlessly expended while the computer sits idle, perhaps while you are in a meeting, on the telephone, or at lunch. Fortunately, we can reduce this waste through the use of Energy Star, which can turn off your monitor, your computer's most consuming component, during idle time. To easily activate the Energy Star capabilities of your system, run the EZ Wizard. If you aren't already using Energy Star, the program will ask if you want to activate it. If you do, it will ask how long you want your system to sit idle before it goes to sleep; you can choose 10, 15, or 20 minutes. After you have answered several questions, the program will turn on the Energy Star features that work with your monitor.

"Easy to use, does what it says"
-
Version: EZ Wizard 3.02
Pros: Frankly,I like everything about it,as long as I can keep using it without a license.Your Monitor is the largest gas-guzzler of you system and this program really heps put the brakes on that.Advise any and all to use it trust it,fabulous,from a senior.
Cons: What I wouldn't like is if there's a time frams attached that I don't know about and ceases to work.

Version: EZ Wizard 3.02
"Nothing new or particularly clever"
Cons: I uninstalled it because it achieved absolutely nothing. You can achieve much better just by visiting the power options in preferences and setting power settings there to the way you want them. It is merely a lightweight interface in accessing power options as such is worthless

Version: EZ Wizard 3.02
Summary: Makes it very simple to reduce PC energy use.
-
Version: EZ Wizard 3.02
Summary: Does exactly what it says it will do and does it well: activate monitor sleep settings. Great for less sophisticated users: I've encouraged my office mates to use it to save energy.
