How to use the screen saver password
want my computer to disconnect after being away from my computer for so long.
Use your Windows password for your screen saver password
You can help make your computer more secure by creating a screen saver password, to lock your computer when the screen saver is activated. The screen saver password is the same password that you use when you connect to Windows drives.
Read the info on the link above.
See you soon.

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.

How to use a screen saver in Windows 7?

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.
If this isn't a problem of 'Performance and Maintenance', please put it in the right area.
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 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.

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.

How to make the screen saver full screen using windows 7?
Windows 7
What size are the pictures that you have questions
If the pictures are taken in the portrait and not landscape they will never fill the entire screen.
What is position of the image set to now? to fill the screen with a picture of portrait, you will need to use Stretch. photo will not look good at all / you need to culture and framework of rotation / turn into a landscape image.
Pictures to fill the screen? compare and validate different pixel sizes.

I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 with MK1032GSX hard disk. I put a bios password and HARD drive password. Every day I turn on my laptop with my password a number only once: unlock the disk and bios. The password screen is before windows starts.
One day my laptop motherboard is broken, I bring my pc on the Toshiba support center (less disc) and I'm waiting for him (2 months ago). I need to read my date of the disc, but it is locked by password. The drive is a SATA drive, I put it on a desktop computer and I see it in the bios and in windows resource device, but I do not see in the Explorer.
None of the software I've tried (HDD unlock, atapwd...) will not work. I have my password, I have not forgotten.
How to read my date? Can you help me?
Thank you.Hi Oscar
Hmmm I m not 100% sure, but I think that it s not possible to remove the HARD drive HARD drive password if you haven t your laptop.
I know that if the HARD drive password has been set the HARD drive is not more accessible and more usable. -

In the worst case the screen resolution is not supported :(
But you can check the following:
Go to settings of display properties (right click on desktop > properties > settings). Click Advanced, and then select the monitor tab. * Uncheck * the box Hide modes that this monitor cannot display.
After this check again the screen to external monitor resolution.
I hope that helps! :)

How to set the password for the screen saver?
When connecting, password is not necessary and I put it under 'control userpasswords2', but I'd like to set password within the screensaver 15 minutes idle.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to do it?
Thanks in advance for your suggestionsHello
You will need to set a password for the connection on your computer user account.
After that, you can set the screen saver and set the option on the resumption, the logon screen and specify 15 Minutes to time waiting .
