  • screen saver doesn't work if disconnected

    I have my screensaver set to start after 6 minutes of inactivity. It works fine if I'm offline (I'm the only user on this pc). But he no longer lights if I'm connected even though I have no specified program such as running and the Task Manager shows nothing is running on the Applications tab.

    So what's happening?

    Idle means no user activity and the CPU and hard disk activity must be below certain thresholds. Applications tab displays only the programs you started as a user, process presents programs and services that are running in the background. If you disconnect of some people are running is no longer and then the activity falls under the threshold of "idle". A - V scanning and indexing of files from the hard drive are a couple of things happening in the background that can cause what you see.

    Original title: my screensaver does not work all the time

    My screen saver does not work all the time.  First time I have turn on computer, it works OK.  Later in the day, this isn't.  Usually, this seems to happen once the aircraft stopped in the energy saving mode.  After the reactivation of the computer (do not), the screen saver does not work when it should.

  • 3D Windows XP screen saver does not work after a CMOS battery failure

    I have a dual-boot Windows XP / Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit set in place.  Somehow, after a flat battery CMOS, my 3D screemsavers do not work.  I mainly use the Windows 7 but I'm checking the XP.  The screen saver settings seem OK but the preview and the screen saver appears not to do 3D.  I've updated my drivers nVidia GTX 275.

    Note Pleaser that everything works well under Windows 7.

  • screen saver does not work when magic jack is pluged in. unplug mj it works

    screen saver does not work when magic jack is pluged in. unplug taking magic, the screensaver works properly.

    09/05/10 the MagicJack has released an update that prevents the screen saver and "standby" mode. They are aware that people are upset on this issue, but they seem not to care.

    Here is a simple solution to the problem. I've used it since 10/09/10 and it works perfectly.

    Restore the functionality of screen saver / display after MagicJack diverted these features...

    Click on the Start button in Windows 7

    type cmd in the search box

    Right click on cmd and run as administrator if you are not running as an administrator it will not work!

    type: powercfg /requestsoverride PROCESS magicJack.exe DISPLAY

    Make sure that you type the capitol letters and lowercase no look of magic make 'J' ack it's capitol as well!

    Press enter

    Now unplug your magicjack

    Restart your computer and let the unplugged MagicJack

    Once the computer starts together your screensaver for a minute then let it sit for a minute activate screen saver...

    Now plug your magic let sit for one minute Alto screen saver is now active!

    If you want to activate the sleep as well, follow the same instructions as above, but simply type this line instead.

    type: powercfg /requestsoverride PROCESS magicJack.exe DISPLAY SYSTEM

    If you follow these instructions, your sleep/screen mode will work as before.

  • Why the screen saver does not work in the two screens?

    I have a monitor connected to my laptop using the VGA connector.
    Laptop LCD is set as the primary display and the additional monitor is defined as the extended desktop. When the screen saver appears, it shows on the main screen. How can I make it work on both? (without setting the external display as a clone of the hand).

    In dual screen extended mode, Win7 screen saver stops working after unpluging external monitor

    I have problems of this kind.

    I have listed what I've done to illustrate how to reproduce this.

    My OS is win7 32 bit.

    The replication steps are

    1. start on OS with integrated display (it is the system of n. b.)

    2. attach the HDMI (external monitor).

    3. turn on the extended mode and HDMI monitor as the primary device.

    4. set the screen saver 3D to be active and preview.

    Screensaver 3D drawing now works on the main screen.

    the secondary monitor (built-in monitor) working with black screen.

    5. hot unplug a HDMI monitor.

    6. the display of the 3D screen saver is changed back to the built-in screen.

    7. BUT the drawing of 3D on the built-in screen screensaver is STOPPED (= NOT updated).

    8 move the mouse, built-in monitor escapes from the idle screen status (operating system is still alive)

    Is this an OS behave as expected?
