Cannot change the screensaver settings

Original title: __Locked (in gray) screen saver settings___

Hello

I just changed a new laptop with win 7. I have a little problem with screen saver which is defined in the field of sleep on white screen, set to 15 minutes and requires the password. Everything is more gray, so I have no possibility to change that.

Can someone help me to unlock the screen saver settings (remove the grey shadow) so that I can customize my screen saver?

Thank you

Hi Baracus,
 
1. are you able to click on the dropdown under screen saver?
2 or it is dimmed as well?

 
If this isn't the case, then select a different screen saver and try to change the settings.
 
 

Thank you, and in what concerns:

    Why can't change the sharpness of safesearch under PC control change window

    Hi John,.

    1. What happens when you try to change the safesearch settings? You get the error message?
    2. Is research and results from Bing website suggestions option enabled? If this is not the case, turn it on and try to change the settings. This is because if the same is disabled, then the option in this window will be gray and you will not be able to make changes.

  • Sound problems on computer, cannot change the sound settings

    I had a long-standing problem in the audio settings of the Control Panel on Windows 7 where I can't change settings, configure anything or especially toggle of the devices. The options are there, but they have no effect when selected. Recently, I tried to connect my laptop to a TV, and as I could not set as the default audio device, I finally decided to try to fix things. I deleted and reinstalled the software Realtek my laptop and everything he has done is completely turn off my speakers, and all attempts to reactivate failed them. The unit displays in the control panel as a default active device, but claims of the taskbar that there are no speakers is connected, and if I click to set up the Realtek Audio, I have the same situation that before where absolutely nothing is happening.

    I tried troubleshooting sound problems, and all I get is the statement that an audio device is disabled, no attempt to fix or any option to enable. Apart from a system restore, that in general, I try to avoid, I feel that I have tried everything I can think of to fix this and only managed to make it worse. No help available would be appreciated to receive my laptop back to a functioning State.

  • Cannot change the print settings

    I have a new printer, an Epson XP 430. My previous printer was also an Epson. With my old printer, when I chose to print (for a document, web page, etc.) the dialog always had an option to choose, black and white. I also could add to the presets and edit presets.

    With this printer, I can see the presets, but I can't make changes. When I click on view Presets, it is not an option for adding a new preset as it was with my old printer and remove and duplicate boxes are grayed out.

    I guess that this is due to the printer, not OS X, as I noticed the difference when I started using the new printer. Am I missing something somewhere? I rarely print in color, so I would have a preset that specifies black & white.

    Thank you.

    Sheri

    Since you have a new printer, you can create new presets. This is done through the printer with the selected printer dialog box, not through the page view Presets. When you select this option to print do the settings that you want to create a preset for and then click on the drop down preset menu. Select "Save current settings as preset" and enter a name for the new preset.

  • Cannot change the resolution on the coming Pro 11 webcam settings?

    Is it possible to change the resolution settings of the built-in Tablet coming 11 Pro webcam? We need to reduce the size of photos that are taken, and there is no way that I can find in the system to do this. We have several tablets of 10 of Latitude, and they allow to change the resolution of the webcam. I called Dell technical support, but the technician could not find a way to change these settings or the other. He tried to install the Dell Webcam utility but he ended up turning off the camera and I had to do a system restore. Any opinion on this is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Dell provides no information for installed webcams which makes it impossible to find or see if the real drivers are provided the manufacturing (they could even provide some sort of camera app to set up and take photos). Who knows?
    Device Manager displays only the information of default built-in webcam and drivers Microsoft.
    The default camera app Windows 8 is archi-nu and does not provide parameters improved.

    You might want to try Cyberlink YouCam Mobile. Never tried but I checked in there just now and saw that the resolution was one of the parameters. Not sure if it is already in the free version or not.
    Other applications of the free camera maybe the settings as well.
    Just check out some and you'll see.
