my Intel iMac dims, even though I tell it not to, why?

[M. Malone]

as the title says, I went to energy saver, and told it to not dim, but it still dims after several minutes of inactivity

Edit:
Dims = screen brightness reduces

Do the iMacs have ambient light sensors?

For the little sleep light indicator.

Think that should take care of it.

well I decided to go into preferences and told my comp to reduce the brightness, then restarted, and went back and unchecked reduce brightness, now it's fixed. If you ask me, lately, Mac OS X hasn't been as stable as it use to 6 months ago, I have other problems with it, little things here and there, it acts weird, not liking this
