How to activate the screen saver in windows 7?

Hello!

Impossible to activate screen saver like menu drop-down is dimmed.

Need help! This is a very serious problem. Imagine that you watch videos from your laptop connected to HD TV via the Port of the display, the screen is HD and suddenly screen goes black because the screensaver is already activated. Then, you must get up and touch something to recover the picture on your screen. And must repeat the operation every 20 minutes!

I have Canon set up or do anything with the settings on the screen saver as menu drop-down is dimmed.

Hi Deyett,

In Windows 7, the local Group Policy Editor will be available in the professional, Ultimate and Enterprise editions.

If you have any edition of Windows above, then you can try to open the Group Policy Editor as follows:

a. click the Start button, type gpedit.msc in the Search box and press ENTER .

Then you can follow these steps:

(b) in the left pane, click to expand User Configuration, model of administration, Control Panel, and customization.

c. in the pane, click with the right button to Activate the screen saver and click Edit.

(d) to activate the Screen Saver select not configured or enabled.
Note: Not configured is the default setting.

It is now the eyes of the Local Group Policy Editor:

    How to activate the stylus and touch in windows 7? If it displays "no net and enter key is available for this view.

    Please tell me from the beginning on this topic...

    If this screen does not have a sensor to detect the pens or touch, you need to go buy a new touchscreen compatible.

    But if it worked before, then you probably have a driver installed.  Go to the website of the company that builds your screen, and search for downloads.

  • How to disable the screen saver when you watch videos in full screen in firefox?

    This only happens with Firefox, other browsers videos play normally and without interruption. I want to keep my window screen saver by default but not when watching full-screen mode.

    The Flash Player plugin must normally block the system to go to sleep, reduce the brightness of the display or go to the screen saver when you are using full-screen. It is strange that you have this problem with Flash.

    There are workaround solutions such as the use of an add-on or an external program that simulates the movement of your mouse, but those who really shouldn't be necessary.

    VLC, I don't know.

    Furthermore, you closed and restarted Windows because this problem first occurred? Just in case where some component shared Windows crashed.

    Original title: Screen saver

    My screensaver allows to work with Webshots, now using MS (or Picasa), I would like to have a screen saver.

    I tried without success and frustrated.

    Just tell me a simple way to use a screen saver in Windows 7.

    Hello

    The best way to add a screen saver in Windows 7 is around a theme. To do this: go to control panel and select personalization. When this window opens scroll down and you can change the desktop background, color of the window, the sound and screen saver. Set any one or all the of them for what you want and when you have finished setting regardless of the changes you want, make right click on the unsaved half theme top of the box and select Save the theme as and enter any name you want. Then, you will always have this theme available to choose from.

    Let me know if you need more instructions detail, something else, after back here with your results!

  • How to get the screen saver photos slideshow goes completely after 2 minutes

    Since I got windows 7 my photo slide show I had always put to screen saver turns off after 2 minutes. I love looking at all the photos of my grandchildren, my screensaver settings is correct, but I don't want my screen to go black after only a few pictures

    Hi Emmauscapeofgoodhopesupportteam,

    I think I have the solution to your problem, who can you look at pictures of your grandchildren.

    As you said you have the correct settings for the screen saver, but your power management options can be verified.

    Please follow the instructions below.

    1. click 'START' and select 'control panel '.

    2. click on 'Harware and its' option

    3. now, select "Power Options" now you should see the options of 'Balanced or High Performance' under 'Select power management.

    4. Select the "Balanced" option and click on "change plan settings".

    5. now, you will find an option "Disable display" default is 'Never' and if not please change it to "never."

    so this should keep your monitor after happening to the screensaver. If you want to be off after some time, you can select required time to the same option settings.

    Concerning

    PCS365.10

    Just reply to your convenience.
