  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. How to run all the time?  I am running Kapersky Internet Security 2011.  This would be closed by the screen saver?

  Hi garybuyit,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft answers Forums.

  Just so I'm clear, updated you the graphics cards in Device Manager? You have access to a Windows XP installation disc. If so, follow the steps in this document to make a scan of the SFC. This analysis will attempt to repair or replace any missing or corrupted system files.

• can I see when my computer has been accessed from the outside of my house?

  Suspect someone may be using my free wi - fi connection.

  Hi B1lz,

  Change your router password AND the password to the router by default if you think he has been compromised (and you need to change all of your computers that use it as well because otherwise they will not be recognized once you change the settings of the router).  If your router is not configured properly (or if it is, but you feel nervous anyway), this is the solution.

  Rather than trying to find out if this is the case - keep him and KNOW that it is not.

  Good luck!

• Screen saver does not react when I "wiggle" the mouse or press "Esc"; 'Enter', etc.

  I had the same screen saver running for centuries (it goes right through my photos), but in the last few weeks, I am unable to find the screen to 'wake up' 'wiggle' of the mouse or press "Esc"; 'Enter' etc etc.  Its very frustrating because I have to press several keys at random and then wait about 5 minutes for the screen saver turns off.  I'm still on Windows 7 and it is up to date.

  No idea how to get the screensaver to respond normally again?

• 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.

• Portege M400: screen saver does not work

  Hi all

  like many of you, I think, I need the screen saver protected by start-up automatically when I let my M400 unattended for some time.
  Everything works fine if the bluetooth is introduced to the wide. Otherwise... the screen saver does not start automatically.

  Site Microsoft learns something about the problems related to (Microsoft mouse) wireless devices that do not allow the screen saver appears.
  The proposed solution is to kill a process called PCMsomething, or download an update windows named KBsomething and install it.

  I actually a bluetooth wireless (non-Microsoft) combined with my PC mouse, but no PCMsomething process is executed and, although my mouse is turned off, the screen saver organizers can't work until I turned off the bluetooth of the M400 too. In addition, windows update does not suggest a KBsomething patch to install (maybe because my mouse is not a Microsoft one?).

  Any idea to solve my problem?
  Thanks in advance.

• Windows XP Pro SP3, screen saver does not login / welcome screen.

  Windows XP Pro, SP3

  Recently made a clean installation fees.

  Now, every time the logon / Welcome screen, screen saver will not invoke after the specified time-out period.

  If the computer is on any other screen, a screen saver will call after the specified time-out period.

  I can't understand why the screen saver will invoke is no longer when the connection / welcome screen appears.

  If anyone has any input on this, I would appreciate it.

  Thank you.

• Screen saver does not start automatically

  original title; SCREEN SAVER DOES NOT START AUTOMATICALLY

  My screensaver stopped automatically to come if I use an excerpt it's turns on and will remain lit.  How can I fix or can uninstall and reinstall?

  It becomes a problem growing with the screen savers. The issue is background programs and services that are enough tasks that the computer never thinks that it becomes "inactive". Programs cannot do any real work, but are cycling through their operations individual enough to keep the computer "awake".

  Try to start your computer with a "clean boot", (see Microsoft Support articles below). If this resolves the issue and you definitely want your screen saver, you'll have to discern what substantive programs and services that you can live without being active all the time, and turn them off.

  For what it's worth, the systems that I watched recently with this problem were 'smart phone' synchronization software recently installed and who is constantly looking for something to synchronize with regardles to know if they are connected to what whether or not. Change the start of these programs and services 'on demand' to 'always' solves the problem in these cases.

  That check for screen saver does not

  Hi k4trm,

  1. what happens when you set a screen saver? What screensaver you have defined on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message?

  3. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the screen saver does not to work.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.
