    Hello

    I recently rebooted my computer; (Packard Bell) and now cannot run games or screen savers because it does not start. I think my problem has something to do with a Direct3D card? When I run screensavers, I get this message:

  • How to use the screen saver password

    want my computer to disconnect after being away from my computer for so long.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/use-your-Windows-password-for-your-screen-saver-password

    Use your Windows password for your screen saver password

    You can help make your computer more secure by creating a screen saver password, to lock your computer when the screen saver is activated. The screen saver password is the same password that you use when you connect to Windows drives.

    Read the info on the link above.

  • Cannot lock the screen saver (zip)

    I bought an Ideapad y460p and I don't know how to unlock the screen saver.

    The screen saver is that a horizontal zip (from left to right) shows that the screen is locked and a few bubbles go from the bottom of the page top of page. When I press any key press the touchpad, only I hear a sound but the screen will not be unlocked.

    What should I do?

    OK I found it.

    When you move the slider from left to right nav, the screen is locked and you see a zip moving from left to right. to unlock it, you must move the nav slode from right to left.

  • Windows cannot start the screen saver

    I get this message instead of a screen saver... no matter which, I chose. If I go to preview, all he says is that there is "no preview available".

    It started this week. I install nothing new at the time it started, at least one week before, and I think it was actually longer than a week.

    Thank you! Home at last got to this do and method 1 worked. I could have lived without the screen saver, but I prefer it. Happy to have it work again.

  • Cannot run the screen saver because it requires a newer video card or one that is compataible with Direct3D. Hotfix does not work/run

    I am running windows 7 ultimate, 64-bit, SP1

    The screen savers say they can't run, they need a new video card, or a compatible with direct3d.

    I ran the fix.  The issue is pending. Hotfix: KB2159238

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2159238

    All of the video drivers are up to date and they support Direct3D.

    Seems a lot of people have this issue - how to fix? Yet once again, the fix does not work (says "this update is not applicable to your computer")

    Hello Dave,

    Thank you for your response.

    I appreciate your time and your concern.

    It is normal that the fix is made for the Windows 7 version without service pack 1.

    I hope you can try the following methods provided in the previous post.

    However, if the problem persists, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall display drivers.

    Step 1:
    Uninstall the display driver.

    a. Click Start, type Device Manager in the start search box and press ENTER.
    b. expand 'graphics', right-click on the map and click Uninstall.
    c. restart the computer, if the prompt message.

    Step 2:
    Install the latest driver to display from this link:
    http://66.226.78.22/DownloadSite/drivers/Intel/VGA/VGA (v15.33.31.64.3993) .zip

    For reference:

  • Satellite P200: Cannot open the Power Saver - fatal error in Windows XP Home edition

    Hello

    I just installed XP and I came across a problem that is boring. When I finished to install Power Saver and the driver, I got a message saying fatal error and I thought it was because I haven't restarted. Then, after only a day or 2 later I went to the energy saver and he said cannot open because you don't have access rights to "Toshiba Power Saver.

    Is there a solution to this
    Neo-Tech

    Hello

    I put t know if this is a solution but try my proposal:
    First of all, remember that you are registered as an administrator or make sure that you have administrator rights.

    Remove your old system energy saving. You must remove the driver and utility.
    Then reinstall the computer and clean the registry using the freeware like CCleaner.

    Then install the driver of saver of power and after reboot the new install standby power plant.

    I hope it helps

  • I use my photos as a screen saver file. I deleted some of my photo file, but the deleted photos still appear while the screen saver is running.

    How is the screen saver for the photos?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    Note: files or images will be stored in the same C:\Windows\System32\PhotoScreensaver.scr file after the image is removed from the main location. This is the reason why the photos appear even after their removal. And once you navigate and new photos as your screensaver the old ones will be replaced automatically.

    See the link below to learn more about the Windows Photo Gallery:

  • Error messgae: "the screen saver cannot run because it requires a more recent video card", attempting to display the screen saver and the error code 40 download the fix.

    Original title: cannot run zip; error code 40 (hotfix for the video card)

    Hi, I ' m trying to view my screen saver and it seems to be causing "the screen saver can't run because it requires a newer video card or compatible with 3d graphics." (2030 M-windows7 dell) .thanks Jean-Michel

    Hi John,.

    1. what screen saver are you trying to view?

    2 is confined to a specific screen saver?

    3. have you installed SP1 for Windows 7?

    This problem occurs because of a problem in 3D screensavers.

    Fix error occurs if you have a corrupt hotfix package or may have downloaded the wrong patch for your platform.

    This can also occur if the hotfix is included in SP1 and you have already installed Windows 7 SP1.

    Method 1:

    You must make sure that the hotfix you download is depending on the version of Windows 7 installed on your computer.

    For more information, see the article:

    Error message when you set a 3D screen saver screen saver in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2: "the screen saver can't run because it requires a more recent or Direct3D-compatible video card.

    Please see if you can copy the file that you downloaded to another computer or location and try to unpack.

    When you download the fix, save it in a new location (on the desktop) and the password given with the fix allows to extract the file.

    Method 2:

    Step 1:

    You can also try to run the display quality Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    Step 2:

    You too, try to install the latest version of the Site Web of Dell display drivers and check if it helps.

    Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.
