Increase the idle time before my screen saver is activated

While I'm on the line, after 5 minutes of inactivity, while displaying a site etc, my screen saver is activated, making me use my mouse to go back to the page I was veiwing previously.  How can I increase the amount of time before the screen saver is turned on in windows 7.

Thank you!!!

Go to control panel and click on appearance and personalization.

Under customization you will see a link to "Change screen saver", click on that and a configuration window should appear.

There, you'll be able to set the time interval so that the screen saver is used.

  • 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

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • How can I increase the download time

    I need help to find what and where should I go to set the time it takes to download something.  Before my computer stops the download, because it reaches its pre-selected choice, I have been preselected and want to move back.  IM struggling to find that. And do not remember how I shortened the time.  Does anyone know where and what I need to search for and select to extend the time needed to download something on or offline?

    Original title: computer limits the time to download something.  Where can I go on the computer to increase the duration?

    Win does not limit the time of download or the download size. Limitations are those imposed by the third-party software installed or your Internet provider

    And if the site you download from has a problem, then your download will fail also.

  • unlimited time-out, but the idle time-out is 30 minutes per session

    Hi all

    I connect with client Anyconnect for an ASA5510 (8.2.1 (11))

    In group policy, I idle timeout = unlimited, but if I control the session in asdm and the command line

    I find idle timeout = 30 minutes.

    If I insert idle timeout = 60 in politics, in the session I see Idle timeout = 60 min.

    Is only a problem in the visualization of the session?

    Defining the 'vpn-idle-timeout none' group strategy is a misunderstood command. When it is set in group policy, it does not neutralize the idle-timeout. In the past, I filed a bug in order to clarify what this setting (see CSCsm15079) to clarify the misunderstanding. In more recent versions of the code with bug fix, context-sensitive help for command now correctly explained:

    ASA(config-Group-Policy) # vpn - idle - timeout?

    orders/options mode group policy:

    <1-35791394>Number of minutes

    No IPsec VPN: disable the time-out and allow indefinite idling;

    VPN SSL: Use the value by defect-idle-timeout

    When set to none, and you are using SSL VPN, this means that he will inherit the default-timeout defined under the Webvpn config. The default value for this command is 30 minutes, so that's probably why ASDM displays 30 minutes. If you want to adjust this value, it can be changed with:

    conf t

    WebVPN

    by default-idle-timeout

    If you want an 'unlimited' idle time, must be defined the vpn-idle-timeout in group policy for a specific number instead of "none" - the maximum that you can set to the vpn-idle-timeout command is 35791394 minutes (something like ~ 24000 days or essentially unlimited).

    Please note this post and mark it as resolved if he addressed the issue.

  • AdBlock Plus increases the startup time of 4 to 12 seconds...

    One of them is the latest version of AdBlock Plus.
    With all the people with disabilities, FF cool strats after max 3.5 seconds.
    Adblock Plus activation generates the new FF start after 10 seconds...
    This seems rather extreme slowing...

    Allowing all the other addons (11), just increase the new start with about 1/2 second...
