• Screensaver - Windows Live Photo Gallery - error 'an error prevents this slideshow to play' message

  Thank you for your time.
  On a new installation of Win7Pro screensaver Photo Gallery does not work as you wish.
  It is set up for the default value of C:\USERS\***\PICTURES.
  This setting causes the error.
  If I select a subdirectory of it, it works fine.
  Resolutions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you for your support.

  Hey Wilson,

  This problem may occur if you have any other type of file outside of image files that are stored in the photo folder.

  I suggest you to check that all the files in the folder of photo image files. If you find other types of files as the video file or a music file or any other type of files, I suggest going the other files except the file image to a separate folder or another location and check to see if the screensaver in the photo gallery works just fine.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the status.

  Thank you and best regards,

• My pc won't standby and the screen saver does not work. Any help?

  I set the screensaver to go after 1 min, but it doesn't. I can get a preview of the screen saver and the part is ok.  In power options, I put the pc into standby after 5 min, but it doesn't.  I ran a few utilities and a couple came back, 'screen saver fixed', but it still does not work. Help!

  Hello

  Functions of the screen saver and sleep depend on the computer to detect an idle state. An idle state is reached when the computer detects no activity on the system. Once reached the idle state, it must maintain a State of rest for the period that you define in the element.

  If you have any device connected to the system that periodically checks for a specific action, this device can cause the system to achieve or maintain an idle state.

  Some devices, such as a device of VOIP phone that checks for incoming phone calls is an example. If you have a MagicJack or any other similar device, try to remove them and check if this solves the problem.

  Another culprit is an e-mail or instant messaging program that periodically checks for new messages.

  Tell us what you find.

• Satellite C660D-102 blocks when past to the screen saver

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660D-102 of Windows 7 OS. Basically, if my computer is left unattended, and goes to the screen saver, it freezes and has to be restarted by holding down the power button. If I'm listening to the music, makes a loud noise when it does this until it is turned off.

  Anyone has any ideas of what could be the cause?
  Thanks, Matt

  + The message was edited: changed name of the laptop.

  Hi Matt

  To be honest, this laptop T series is unclear to me. What is the correct model name or model number?
  Are you using the original pre-installed OS?
  Have you noticed this problem since the day where we?
  Do you use the standard Windows screensaver?
  Did you install additional software that is running in the background?

  Sorry for these questions but it is not easy to give you simple answer and specifies what may be the problem.

• Cannot run the screen saver because it requires a newer video card or one that is compataible with Direct3D.

  Hello

  I recently rebooted my computer; (Packard Bell) and now cannot run games or screen savers because it does not start. I think my problem has something to do with a Direct3D card? When I run screensavers, I get this message:

  Cannot run the screen saver because it requires a newer video card or one that is compataible with Direct3D.

  I have the impression that sound when I run the 3D games, such as minecraft or GMOD.

  I run on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and does not do anything but re - install my computer because it wouldn't start.

  It is not as if the graphics card is not there, so I'm really confused!

  Please help me, like playing games is my favorite thing. ;)

  Charlie

  I also ran minecraft to double check and I got this error code:

  Bad video card drivers!

  -----------------------

  Minecraft could not start because it did not find an accelerated OpenGL mode.

  Generally, this can be corrected by updating the video card drivers.

• Windows cannot start the screen saver

  I get this message instead of a screen saver... no matter which, I chose. If I go to preview, all he says is that there is "no preview available".

  It started this week. I install nothing new at the time it started, at least one week before, and I think it was actually longer than a week.
  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

  Thank you! Home at last got to this do and method 1 worked. I could have lived without the screen saver, but I prefer it. Happy to have it work again.

• 4 keyboard key opens the calculator, 3 button opens Notepad, - key starts the screen saver.

  You have problems with programs: when I hit the 4 key, my calculator will appear.  I checked hotkey in properties, and he says nothing.  When I assigned another shortcut to the calculator, the 4 button was always popping up the calculator.  The 3 button opens notepad and 0 or - starts the screen saver. 7 pop open my cd-rom drive.  5. I can't use at all (I'll have to use the keyboard to the right of my keyboard to type this message again.

  • Recent changes made to your computer: drivers installed MinoHD.  A refurbished device that my virus scan caught and removed the 2 virus when I first plugged it.  In addition, have updated Mozilla firefox a couple of times on consecutive days - I thought randomly.
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem: Virus scans a couple from different sources.

  I can't type the dollar sign (Maj 4) at all.  Although I hold SHIFT, it always opens the calculator when I press 4.  Someone has an idea?

  It's a laptop Lifebook Fujitsu Series N.  After I posted this, I heard somewhere that it could be a combo of my function key or my windows key.  I started playing with these buttons, including hitting the number lock / scroll lock key.  None of this seems to work, but then 5 minutes later, I tried to work on something else and I hit key 4 by habit and it worked normally.

  I do not know what undid the problem, but it was something in the sense of what you're saying.

• new video card needs the screen saver

  On my new Compaq Presario CQ45-703TUNB when I try to change the screen saver it tells me Ineed new viseo map with thogh 3D, the message is a screen saver

  Hello

  According to its characteristics, its video card is not good for 3D, and you can not change the video card on your computer. Also, why do you need screen saver? Did you know that all modern monitors can now go to sleep. Screensaver will force the screen burn its tiny pixels faster so shorten its life and also consumes more electricity.

  I hope this helps.

• 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.

  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.

  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.

• Mac Pro freezes on the screen saver 10.11.5

  Have a Mac Pro and have a problem when the system freezes and locks up and must power cycle back.    He had related app so tested, but also happens with no apps running third and now thinking seems to be related screensaver.  I have turned off the screen saver and will see what happens now.  However, someone else has the issue of the screensaver crashing the OS X on a Mac Pro to 10.11.5?

  No, I have not heard of this.

  You do not all apps of third parties running in the foreground, but can still cause the problem. Boot in safe mode (hold down the SHIFT key when starting) and see if the problem persists when the screen saver is used.

• 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.
