    McAfee is one of the worst choice of protection that you could make and it is not enough to prove that your computer is free of viruses/malware. Go through the links I gave you. Regarding the image clearer, try to reinstall your video drivers.

    Never get the drivers from Windows Update. Bring:

    1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
    2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
    3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

    Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

    To find out what hardware is in your computer:

    1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
    2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
    3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

    http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor
    http://www.gtopala.com/ - System Information for Windows

    If this does not work, after return with what kind of computer you have - laptop, desktop, make and model.

  • My offices are reorganizing after that the screen saver is running

    Hi all

    I encountered a problem with El Capitan that I lived for a while and don't have only recently started to nail.  Every once in a while (and), my virtual workstations will reorganize.  I have three desktops that I keep open at work all the time.  Office 1 has applications assigned to him, and the other two do not.  However, Desktop 2 and 3 office often get switched.  It seems to happen after the screen saver has run for a bit, and as far as I know, I do anything to make it.  I know that you can drag - move desktop to manually reorder, but this is not what is the cause.

    Someone would have seen this happen before, and to know what anyone?  Or have I met an unknown problem?

    Thanks for the help!

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

    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:
    Cannot run the screen saver because it requires a newer video card or one that is compataible with Direct3D.
    I have the impression that sound when I run the 3D games, such as minecraft or GMOD.
    I run on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and does not do anything but re - install my computer because it wouldn't start.
    It is not as if the graphics card is not there, so I'm really confused!
    Please help me, like playing games is my favorite thing. ;)

    I also ran minecraft to double check and I got this error code:
    Bad video card drivers!
    -----------------------
    Minecraft could not start because it did not find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
    Generally, this can be corrected by updating the video card drivers.

  • You can set the password to the screen saver different password that the password system on Windows 7

    I want to set the password for the screen saver to something else that the network password that I use. Is this possible in Windows 7?

    It is not possible. When the screensaver starts and then interrupted, the login screen appears. Then, of course, it cannot be a different password.

  • Disable the screen saver to logon in XP Home

    don't need no help to this decision).
    I need a register or install the solution based on the script - it is not possible

    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

    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?

  • Windows 7 is extremely slow to return to the screen saver mode.

    I installed upgrading Windows 7 on my computer and everything is fine.  However, when the system is idle and past in mode screensaver (with or without a password), the return of the screen saver mode are extremely slow (just a white screen).  It is sometimes quick, sometimes it comes back in 3-4 minutes, but most of the time it takes a long time.

    The system is a low end, but more than enough to manage w7.  It consist of:
    Pentium dual core (2140)
    2 gig memory
    NVIDIA 7300GT 256M

    I tried to delete the zone alarm security suite, does not solve the problem
    thought it was the HP 2610 print software, removed and still happens.
    update the bios (MSI p4m900)

    can someone figure this.  Is there something that prevents him to return to the desktop.

    Note that, I try to reboot from the blank screen by pressing the windows, right arrow, return.  But I think also, it does not address key strokes.

    THX

    I found a way to fix it! I did this:

    1. Press win + r and run msconfig. Go to tools and brand to troubleshoot the computer, and then click Start.

    2. then go to system and security and press electricityballance (not sure of the name in English because I have a Norwegian version..).

    3. restart your computer.

    4. my screen saver was not afterwards, but I gave it to display photos and now it works perfectly!

    When I checked the general tab afterwards, it did not have the checkbox to use the... start (a last..) one has been verified and the second has a blue full mark.
