• new video card needs the screen saver

  On my new Compaq Presario CQ45-703TUNB when I try to change the screen saver it tells me Ineed new viseo map with thogh 3D, the message is a screen saver

  Hello

  According to its characteristics, its video card is not good for 3D, and you can not change the video card on your computer. Also, why do you need screen saver? Did you know that all modern monitors can now go to sleep. Screensaver will force the screen burn its tiny pixels faster so shorten its life and also consumes more electricity.

  I hope this helps.

• Why is my screen turning black temporarily, then the screen saver turning blue, when using hotmail?

  Sometimes when you use Hotmail - specifically, put the cursor in the e-mail box - Mac color wheel starts to turn. It is quickly followed by the entire screen goes black for a few moments. This is followed by the screen back, but the background changing default screen saver is blue that usually appears temporarily when I boot. This happens not all the time, but it happens. I visited the 'genius bar' Apple Store and they checked on my machine. They cleaned up some disk problems, and it is always the case. Their thought is that it is a Firefox problem, because they did not experience to date, and it didn't happen when I use hotmail with Google Chrome.

• Satellite C660D-102 blocks when past to the screen saver

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660D-102 of Windows 7 OS. Basically, if my computer is left unattended, and goes to the screen saver, it freezes and has to be restarted by holding down the power button. If I'm listening to the music, makes a loud noise when it does this until it is turned off.

  Anyone has any ideas of what could be the cause?
  Thanks, Matt

  + The message was edited: changed name of the laptop.

  Hi Matt

  To be honest, this laptop T series is unclear to me. What is the correct model name or model number?
  Are you using the original pre-installed OS?
  Have you noticed this problem since the day where we?
  Do you use the standard Windows screensaver?
  Did you install additional software that is running in the background?

  Sorry for these questions but it is not easy to give you simple answer and specifies what may be the problem.

• I am unable to adapt both the screen saver is activated

  I am unable to adapt both the screen saver is activated, I put the link, but it acts as if it was before progrmmed?

  Also is there a way to avoid to connect every time?

  The problem with these parameters is that they overlap.  The screen saver setting is perhaps not the one place to look: you should also watch your 'screen time out", as well as waiting times"lock screen ".  In addition, it could be the energy saving sleep timer.  From the point of view of the user, they all look the same (the screen turns off), but to get the desired exact situation, you may need to check up to 4 places.

  1. Right-click on the desktop > personalize > screen saver
     Even if you do not use a screensaver, this timer value is used to lock the screen.  The value 'none' and make sure that the check box is disabled, it does not require a password.
  2. Power options > Change when turn off the display
     Also look at the "require a password on wakeup" option here
     
  3. Power options > change when the computer sleeps
     Also look at the "require a password on wakeup" option here
     
  4. Application settings > lock screen settings

• Disable the screen saver to logon in XP Home

  I'm deploying many gifts machines running XP Home to

  an elementary school, & it's better for them if the screen saver is
  people with disabilities and no password required to start up.  (Please - we)
  don't need no help to this decision).
  I need a register or install the solution based on the script - it is not possible
  go back & many accounts of click-click-click on many machines.
  I watched a lot of scripts and scenarios of regedit posted
  the years, & no work.    These involve generally change different
  roots versions of control panel\desktop ScreenSaveActive key 0.
  They do not work.  Accounts get up always prepare you with ScreenSaveActive 1.
  I edited default user\ntuser.dat for ScreenSaveActive 0.
  Does not help.
  Can I change the timeout to many registry setting.
  in default user\ntuser.dat - out of work.  I put it in 10 years,
  I had 9999 minutes.   It is about 7 days, not too bad.  Power
  management should take over there.  Yet, I would have preferred something
  better than this kind of hack and there are applications that could
  be better with a kiosk - like approach so that they are always on.
  Is it possible known and modern management script of screensaver in XP Home?
  How is this screensaveactive = 1 parameter is re-applied, anyway?
  It is also not possible to delete SCREENSAVE. EXE - it always returns again
  accounts.

• Why the screen saver does not work in the two screens?

  I have a monitor connected to my laptop using the VGA connector.
  Laptop LCD is set as the primary display and the additional monitor is defined as the extended desktop. When the screen saver appears, it shows on the main screen. How can I make it work on both? (without setting the external display as a clone of the hand).

  In dual screen extended mode, Win7 screen saver stops working after unpluging external monitor

  I have problems of this kind.

  I have listed what I've done to illustrate how to reproduce this.

  My OS is win7 32 bit.

  The replication steps are

  1. start on OS with integrated display (it is the system of n. b.)

  2. attach the HDMI (external monitor).

  3. turn on the extended mode and HDMI monitor as the primary device.

  4. set the screen saver 3D to be active and preview.

  Screensaver 3D drawing now works on the main screen.

  the secondary monitor (built-in monitor) working with black screen.

  5. hot unplug a HDMI monitor.

  6. the display of the 3D screen saver is changed back to the built-in screen.

  7. BUT the drawing of 3D on the built-in screen screensaver is STOPPED (= NOT updated).

  8 move the mouse, built-in monitor escapes from the idle screen status (operating system is still alive)

  Is this an OS behave as expected?

• 4 keyboard key opens the calculator, 3 button opens Notepad, - key starts the screen saver.

  You have problems with programs: when I hit the 4 key, my calculator will appear.  I checked hotkey in properties, and he says nothing.  When I assigned another shortcut to the calculator, the 4 button was always popping up the calculator.  The 3 button opens notepad and 0 or - starts the screen saver. 7 pop open my cd-rom drive.  5.

  • Recent changes made to your computer: drivers installed MinoHD.  A refurbished device that my virus scan caught and removed the 2 virus when I first plugged it.  In addition, have updated Mozilla firefox a couple of times on consecutive days - I thought randomly.

  I can't type the dollar sign (Maj 4) at all.  Although I hold SHIFT, it always opens the calculator when I press 4.  Someone has an idea?

  It's a laptop Lifebook Fujitsu Series N.  After I posted this, I heard somewhere that it could be a combo of my function key or my windows key.  I started playing with these buttons, including hitting the number lock / scroll lock key.  None of this seems to work, but then 5 minutes later, I tried to work on something else and I hit key 4 by habit and it worked normally.

  I do not know what undid the problem, but it was something in the sense of what you're saying.
