  I select a screen saver, set the time, apply and nothing.  This has happened before and corrected himself.  Maybe one setting in another program? It's on a laptop.

  Hello jerrylumpe

  1. If you use an old mouse, try to clean it.

  2. you can have a running process in the background that keeps XP thinking that he is busy and so the screen standby does not start.
  Go to msconfig and uncheck everything you don't need, then see if the screensaver will kick in.

  Start/run and type
  Msconfig
  Ok

  Startup tab
  Keep the page open then click on the link below. It will tell you what are all the entries and see if you can disable them or not

  http://www.SysInfo.org/STARTUPINFO.html

  Read the key at the foot of the page, then click on "Here" at the top. Use the search box to check all your entries

  Try this too
  http://www.kellys-Korner-XP.com/xp_tweaks.htm

  Line 51 left side. Click on "toggle".

  It could be that something is resetting the timer. For example, it does take much vibration to move the mouse a little, and which will reset the timer to zero. Something like that would be possible? Or a pet that walks on the keyboard?

• Error messgae: "the screen saver cannot run because it requires a more recent video card", attempting to display the screen saver and the error code 40 download the fix.

  Original title: cannot run zip; error code 40 (hotfix for the video card)

  Hi, I ' m trying to view my screen saver and it seems to be causing "the screen saver can't run because it requires a newer video card or compatible with 3d graphics." (2030 M-windows7 dell) .thanks Jean-Michel

  Hi John,.

  1. what screen saver are you trying to view?

  2 is confined to a specific screen saver?

  3. have you installed SP1 for Windows 7?

  This problem occurs because of a problem in 3D screensavers.

  Fix error occurs if you have a corrupt hotfix package or may have downloaded the wrong patch for your platform.

  This can also occur if the hotfix is included in SP1 and you have already installed Windows 7 SP1.

  Method 1:

  You must make sure that the hotfix you download is depending on the version of Windows 7 installed on your computer.

  For more information, see the article:

  Error message when you set a 3D screen saver screen saver in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2: "the screen saver can't run because it requires a more recent or Direct3D-compatible video card.

  Please see if you can copy the file that you downloaded to another computer or location and try to unpack.

  When you download the fix, save it in a new location (on the desktop) and the password given with the fix allows to extract the file.

  Method 2:

  Step 1:

  You can also try to run the display quality Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

  Step 2:

  You too, try to install the latest version of the Site Web of Dell display drivers and check if it helps.

  Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

• You just bought a pavilion. It acts like it has a screen saver set to start every 2 seconds

  When I try to type in a search or the username or the password. It's the same as my screen background image and covers Im typing on screen.  If I move the mouse, the info is displayed again.  But the image appears several times, as Im trying to type. Ive been all over the Control Panel, trying to figure out what is the cause.  Help, please. Thank you!

  Hello

  The first thing to check is the "wait time" until the screen saver activates, in which case it is the origin of the problem.

  Open windows control panel, open personalization, click on the link to screensaver at the bottom right and in the next window, set the time in the box "Wait" - say 30 minutes.  Click on apply to save the changes.

  Kind regards

• Impossible to change the display to the TV, he used to work.

  Original title: LCD/CRT adjustment does not

  I connect normally my laptop to my TV using the key pressed at the same time fn (function) and F5. While pressing the fn button until I reached my desired setting, I press the F5 key. What usually happens, it's my screen goes black, and I am able to see my screen on my TV and my computer at the same time.

  I tried to do the same thing, but for some reason every time I press fn and F5, I can move between settings (from lcd screen lcd/crt TV lcd/TV), but my settings do not change on go back to the initial screen. This means that I don't see anything on my tv and my screen turn black to reflect the change. Al, that the cables are connected as usual, but for some reason any I see.

  Y at - it a reason for this and how can I fix this so that I can see my screen on my TV?

  Thank you!

  Hello, lasuperenana

  What model laptop do you have?
  How the CRT and the TV are connected?

  Assuming that there is a HDMI and VGA output on the laptop, you can try the monitor from Windows XP configuration. See the links below for help in configuring the monitors.

  How to configure and use multiple monitors in Windows XP
  Expand your workspace with multiple monitors

  Activation of the display by using the FN + F5 key is done on the hardware side, not of Windows. It is possible that all screens may not be configurable Windows if display port has been disabled through the shortcut key.

  Every time I try to change my theme of office (and now every time windows starts), he tells me that I can't run any of the aero themes. I'm trying to troubleshoot my screen becomes black, then I get an error message:

  I've updated all my drivers, including the BIOS, I've tried almost all methods I found online to solve the problem, and I would really like to avoid to restore my system simply because this Dwm.exe decided to stop working... I did not install new programs recent, nor have, I changed the parameters significantly... advice?
  I'm running a 64-bit windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1,
  If you need more information on my system, I'll be happy to provide.

  The module failed (StackHash_1dc2) is not formally identified.

  You can check the event viewer for error and see if the module failed is identified:

  Start > type eventvwr in the box "search programs and files", then press 'Enter' > expand "Custom views" > "administrative events.

  Are looking through 'administrative events' Application errors involving Dwm.exe

  Double click on each event for more details.

  The symptoms you have described as the loss of Aero, I suspect a component connected to the graphics driver may be the issue.

  For example in this link , make back the graphic driver Intel seems to help.

• New update of Windows Vista has changed the display including the taskbar settings

  Last night, my computer is kept up-to-date on my computer that I did not authorize.  I am running a virus scan.  I do not notice any difference (in fact, the computer seems to work better), but the taskbar like Windows 98.  I spent under properties and tried to change the theme, but only classic Windows is available.  Please tell me how I can change my taskbar.  It is quite annoying.

  I also had this problem, the problem disappeared after a second reboot immediately after the update. I hope I could help

• screen saver changes when I hit the lower right

  It's the strangest thing. Sometimes it will change my screensaver without my wanting to-it often seems to happen when I press on or make slip somewhere in the lower right of the screen, as when I have something let drag to the trash. Sometimes it will just open up with each other when I restart. Looks like sometimes when you drag on the trackpad to change to another application.

  Has someone else happen? Anyone have clues as to why it happens?

  Hello durantophone,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If your screen saver is activated when you move your cursor in one of the corners, it is very likely that you have configured to activate the screen saver "corners". Take a look at the following article, specifically in the preferences setting.

  Open system preferences > Desktop & screen saver.

  By clicking on the button active corners offers you the options to enable or disable the screen saver when you move your pointer over one of the corners of the screen. Choose an option from the drop-down menu which corresponds to a specific angle.

• Windows 7 Home Premium switch user screen appears after that so much time has passed well that slowed after the SmileDesktop with screen saver is installed, but do not know how to stop it.

  I used the selective startup to the Office of Smile, which replaces and updates the old Webshots Desktop, which includes the automatic download and auto downloads of images from their site as well as a screen saver.

  There nothing good. rest after so many minutes I connect get back a windows screen does not cause me to lose any data or stop all processes. All running processes continue, but it's the nagging drawback of signing as myself to the computer after having been automatically set user to switch mode. It's probably the fault of this program. In addition, before this Webshots desktop update which included also a screen saver Windows update the eve told me don't not to unplug my computer and that she had to deal with several updates of windows, so I went and the computer stop moments later. The next day was when the message for an update has been waiting for the SmileDesktop program, which is a program that mimics Webshots Desktop, as well as replace the Webshots Desktop. After installed SmileDesktop automatically changed my screen saver settings that were on any mode SmileDesktop screen saver mode. I clicked on the option to disable screen saver. That's when I first noticed the screen splash appearing after that so many minutes of inactivity, change that said user and then I started to worry.
  Norton has found no problem with my computer, and
  Finally, I gave up.

  Hello

  Thanks for asking this question to Microsoft Community.

  If I understand correctly, you want to disable the fast user switching option. Could you please answer a few questions before moving?

  Since when are you facing the issue? Do you have any security program installed on the computer? How many accounts is configured on the computer? Have you done a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  Here is an article that will help you to turn off the fast user switching option. Alternatively, you can uninstall Office to smile and check if it helps. You can also make the screen saver password that is built into Windows. Follow these steps:

  (a) open screensaver settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type screen saver, and then uncheck the box for password game screen.

  Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

• I am unable to adapt both the screen saver is activated

  I am unable to adapt both the screen saver is activated, I put the link, but it acts as if it was before progrmmed?

  Also is there a way to avoid to connect every time?

  The problem with these parameters is that they overlap.  The screen saver setting is perhaps not the one place to look: you should also watch your 'screen time out", as well as waiting times"lock screen ".  In addition, it could be the energy saving sleep timer.  From the point of view of the user, they all look the same (the screen turns off), but to get the desired exact situation, you may need to check up to 4 places.

  1. Right-click on the desktop > personalize > screen saver
     Even if you do not use a screensaver, this timer value is used to lock the screen.  The value 'none' and make sure that the check box is disabled, it does not require a password.
  2. Power options > Change when turn off the display
     Also look at the "require a password on wakeup" option here
     
  3. Power options > change when the computer sleeps
     Also look at the "require a password on wakeup" option here
     
  4. Application settings > lock screen settings
