Customization has stopped working on Dell Inspiron 1501 equipped of Vista?

I use a laptop Dell Inspiron 15 01 running on Vista.  For some reason it won't a screensaver, or get the customization to work so I can shut down the screen without turning off the computer.  Why?  and how to fix it?

Hi CharlesBradshaw

 

1. what happens when you try to use the screen saver?
2 during how long you have been faced with this problem?
3. do you receive error messages when you use the customization options?


Step 1 :
You can refer to the links below and check if the screen saver is turned ON and if you can change the screensaver settings.

Step 2:
You can check if you are facing the same question in the user account new or different administrator account.  You can create a new user account on your computer, and then check.

  • Screen touch Inspiron 2350 has stopped working

    A few days ago I started my Inspiron 2350 and the touch screen does not work.

    It doesn't seem to be a clear answer as to why it stopped working or a general framework that will allow me to fix it.

    In addition, under my current computer information / drivers, the computer does not recognize a touchscreen... that laugh because the monitor is attached to the base of the computer.

    If I had to guess, based on the horrible criticism from Windows, I'm sure something is automatically updated to Windows and launched. I am currently operating on 8.1 - and since I out took it of the box three months ago. This problem started last week.

    Thanks for any help.

    p.s. the monitor driver says that it works properly and is up-to-date.

    I'm having exactly the same issues over the past months... In my opinion, to do with automatic shutter windows 8.1 update as well. I have re-installed to make the adjustment and then touch screen reworked. Then windows update automatic, touch has stopped working again. Repetitive cycles, it seems that Dell could not have intended to solve this problem at all. The last pilot patch file was last year... they never update it... I remember my first PC of Intel4 Dell, purchased at the College; She was flawed with driver problems through my 4 years in College; completely lost my parent$ 1700, ten years ago... I do not understand how my wife of Mac user to make me buy another dell again (because I told him I'm a PC person?) ... my final solution can be... support of stop 1.) calling Dell technology, these people have probably even high school, 2) switch to Mac and never re-use a PC... 3.) oh, I sell my stock Dell too... Stop wasting our lives to find a solution for this... how long did you spend YOU on this problems so far?
