  • Screen saver comes on is no longer

    I'm starting this new, as the previous question is called resolved even if for some people including myself it was not resolved. With each new version from 8 (windows xp) my screen saver comes on. I tried to open firefox in safe mode to see if that would help and it did not. I just discovered today, however, that if I go private browsing than the screen saver turns on. If something has run this private browsing stops, but safe mode does not work. Any ideas out there?

    It's very strange, but even if I changed nothing, after months of no screensaver, he's back! So I guess we'll call it resolved even thought nothing was actually resolved.

    McAfee is one of the worst choice of protection that you could make and it is not enough to prove that your computer is free of viruses/malware. Go through the links I gave you. Regarding the image clearer, try to reinstall your video drivers.

    Never get the drivers from Windows Update. Bring:

    1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
    2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
    3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

    Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

    To find out what hardware is in your computer:

    1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
    2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
    3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

    http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor
    http://www.gtopala.com/ - System Information for Windows

    If this does not work, after return with what kind of computer you have - laptop, desktop, make and model.

  • Sleep and power settings screen saver

    What 'time settings' should I use for computer 'screen saver' and 'sleep' when you use a "PASSWORD" to login?

    I don't want my current settings for me to enter my hours additional p.w. cause my screensaver lights up or my screen will Dim.  I noticed there's a ""EVER " adjustment." What would it be for?

    Please keep the simple answer, that I'm not a technology person.

    Thank you

    If you do not want will ask you for your password after the screen saver comes on or after having put your Mac to sleep, go to System-> Security & privacy-> general Preferencesand uncheck the box 'ask password... '. ». It's the best way to do what you want.

    In addition, note that you can also define a period of time, so you will ask for your password after this time and not before. To change this setting, you have a multiple choice option that I mentioned earlier.

  • Palm Pre calendar, screen saver and Conference questions

    Hello

    I am a Palm Pre (Sprint) 1.4 and the Palm Pre Plus (verizon) 1.4 user.  I use the EAS option to connect to my company groupware system.  I have two problems, I need help:

    1. on the Sprint and Verizon, location of the grille section seems to offer very limited space.  Minimum Adequetly so that when I'm on the road and I am trying to get an address or con-calls, he doesn't seem to have enough space to support location data.  In addition, there seems to be no option to scroll left or right to see the data.

    2. on the phone from Verizon, when the screen saver comes in and the screen turns off, the only option is to press the power button on the top right of the phone.  However, when the phone is flipped open, it's a physical impossibility.  I then have to return the phone closed and then press the button.  It's a question on Sprint phones and through a software upgrade they have enabled the option to press the middle button a screen saver option Michael.  The same option on the Verizon phone is necessary.

    3. I don't know if it is a function or a lack of, of the CDMA network, but it would be nice to a conference call of the United Nations and switch between private calls.

    All-in-all, I'm very happy with my phones and think that WebOS is more operationally effective phone OS on the market.

    Thank you

    1st edition. Just, I typed a few characters in my location section and had more than 100 characters without running out of space. Never came to fruition. To access you type on a line of text, hold down the option key down, and move your finger to the up, down, left, right anywhere on the screen. It will be your cursor from that direction.

    2. I have sprint, so maybe verizon is different. But by pressing any key on the keyboard while his opening turns my screen turn it back on.

    3. no idea on it.

  • Computer lock up after the active screen saver. __

    The problem: after the screensaver kicks in if I stop I'm usually back in the log on screen, however, if the computer starts to slow down, sleep, CV, I get a black screen and I can hear the computer still active in the background and I can hot key to open applications, but all I see is a black screen. Sometimes I see the mouse on the black screen. My resolution is to turn it off and turn it back on.

    Any ideas, I played with the Device Manager and deleted a few? the elements and rebooted to see if any device driver was causing the problem. I played around with the screen saver and power management and tried different settings and nothing works.

    See you soon.
