Satellite A660-10W screen saver does not display
Nice day.
My screen saver, power saver, screen dimmer, etc. will come not on the same when I change the wait time, etc. and save the settings.
I have a Magic Jack hooked up all the time to one of the USB ports - could it be the cause does not activate the Saver screen or could it be something in the McAfee Anit-virus, anti-spyware system cause?
Thank you in advance.
Hello
Usually the screen saver appears if you would not touch the keyboard, the touchpad or mouse for awhile.
I didn t know the magicJack but I googled a bit and it seems that this device that plugs into a USB port provides a standard phone jack RJ-11 in which any standard phone can be connected.
This might be the reason, but that's just a guess
But check the screen saver timeout settings:
This will change the timeout of screensaver for all users
-Open the Local Group Policy Editor (type gpedit.msc in the search)
-In the left pane, click on to expand user, administrative templates, control panel and customization
-In the right pane, right-click on the screen saver time-out and click on change
-Select enabled
-In the Options, select or how many seconds must elapse in order to launch the screensaver
-Click OK and close the editor.
-Restart the device and check if this work.

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.

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.Kind regardsZzyzxDude -
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.> when I let my M400 unattended for some time.

Hello
Well, usually the common screensaver that are pre-installed on the operating system to work properly. I put t know what screensaver you use, but I guess that you have installed a 3rd party screensaver. In this case you should check these settings. For the most part a screensaver 3rd party has a parameters.

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?

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.

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.

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?
