definition of my time before I go to my screensaver.

If I'm reading something on my computer and let my hand off the mouse, I return to my screensaver and need to connect again. How can I get away with this feature, I'm sure its an energy-saving, but it is annoying.  Thank you. MarineSniper.

Hello:

You don't mention which operating system you are using. This is for XP, but the method is similar to Vista or W7:

Go to your control panel, click display, click on the screen saver tab. There you can set the number of minutes you want between a minute and all that.  If you don't want to sign in when your screen saver comes on, just uncheck the box that says "on RESUME, password protect."

  • How can I change the amount of time before a call to voicemail

    How can I change the amount of time before a call to voicemail?

    -alex-

    You will need to contact your carrier and see if they can change. There is no setting on the phone, only the owner can modify it, if they can. Not all carriers cannot change, and even if they can, it's a very short period. This has to do with the configuration of the call. At least you know that it's all the time and not the number of ringtones.

  • Go off & on several times before the monitor turns on. Comp seems to start OK but the problem is with the screen.

    Original title: XP start help please...

    ... are to be turned off & on several times before monitor lights. Comp seems to start OK but the problem is with the screen. Do I have to make a boot disk & if so - HOW?

    Hello

    ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         Did you check the connection of the cable to the monitor?

    ·         Have you tried to update to the latest graphics card and motherboard chipset drivers?

    First, try to connect your monitor to a well known PC, maybe the old laptop that you use now. If the monitor works, the problem is with the video card in your PC. If the monitor does not light, the monitor. It is usually cheaper to buy a new monitor that in order to be an old repaired, unless the monitor is still under warranty.

    Try connecting a monitor well known to your PC. If the monitor works, your old monitor is fried and needs to be replaced.

    If your monitor works when connected to another PC, the problem could be your video card. First, and then you turn on your PC, the power and cooling case fans run they. If they do not, it could be the power supply.

    Then, open the computer case. Before you do anything inside, unplug the power supply.

    IMPORTANT! Touch any metal part of the computer case to connect to the PC. A single static spark can destroy computer circuits.

    If the video card is the type of card that plugs into a slot on the motherboard, remove the screws or attached at the top of the card, remove the card, to manipulate the card by the edges to avoid disturbing the circuits on the card, carefully and re - install the card. Sometimes simply reinstalling the card corrects the problem.

    If this does not work, replace the video card with a card of similar type. Perhaps now is the right time for an update of video card.

    If the video card is integrated into the motherboard, you can install a new card in one of the PCI slots on the motherboard. When the PC starts for the first time, go into the bios and disable the onboard video.
