Power settings have changed and I can not open my power options.

I can't open my power options, and my laptop is somehow set to the screen to get dark every 2 minutes, even if I never got him to do. I tried opening the Control Panel, screen saver properties and the run menu. She will act as it starts to load for about 2 or 3 seconds then I get nothing. I really need to solve this problem, because my husband is deployed and it is difficult for my 2 year old to sit and have a video conversation with him. Thank you!
