• Display settings, theme and screen saver windows are unclickable/not unresponsive.

  Hey well yesterday when I restarted my computer it set itself to a screen resolution 800 x 600. He has done this before, so I know how do to solve this problem, but when I went to view the settings to change the resolution of the window upward but my pointer turned to the insensitive loading blue circle and if I tried to click on what whether the program immediately become unresponsive. I checked and it was the same for any customization option that opened this area full settings, including the theme and screen saver. I am sure that this problem lasts for a long time, because I remember trying to update my screensaver a few months ago and have the box not to answer. But I have not had to use my display settings since then, so I thought nothing of it.

  In any case, help would be appreciated, because I really look forward to working with a resolution of 800 x 600. Thank you very much! :)

• Screen saver does not account settings in Windows Media Player when you watch a movie...

  Hello

  Does anyone know how to solve the problem with the screensaver kick watching a movie using Windows Media Player (WMP), even though I unchecked the option to "allow the screensaver during playback" in WMP?

  I found that if I start Windows Media Center (WMC) first and watching TV for example or even listen to music in WMC and then then quit, then load WMP to watch an AVI, after the specified time, the screen saver starts, and the film is no longer visible until I move the mouse to stop the screen saver.  I know not if I reboot WMP works perfectly and no screensaver will start, which is not so much that I restart WMC, then switch back to WMP...

  I just upgraded from Windows XP. There are a few features that I miss and I don't know if there is anyway to get.
  1. under XP, you might have the name of the file appears in the corner of the image when the screen saver is running. Really useful to find the photos you want to send or ID'ing the image. A way to get this feature in Win7?

• Windows 7 is extremely slow to return to the screen saver mode.

  I installed upgrading Windows 7 on my computer and everything is fine.  However, when the system is idle and past in mode screensaver (with or without a password), the return of the screen saver mode are extremely slow (just a white screen).  It is sometimes quick, sometimes it comes back in 3-4 minutes, but most of the time it takes a long time.

  The system is a low end, but more than enough to manage w7.  It consist of:
  Pentium dual core (2140)
  2 gig memory
  NVIDIA 7300GT 256M

  I tried to delete the zone alarm security suite, does not solve the problem
  thought it was the HP 2610 print software, removed and still happens.
  update the bios (MSI p4m900)

  can someone figure this.  Is there something that prevents him to return to the desktop.

  Note that, I try to reboot from the blank screen by pressing the windows, right arrow, return.  But I think also, it does not address key strokes.

  THX

  I found a way to fix it! I did this:

  1. Press win + r and run msconfig. Go to tools and brand to troubleshoot the computer, and then click Start.

  2. then go to system and security and press electricityballance (not sure of the name in English because I have a Norwegian version..).

  3. restart your computer.

  4. my screen saver was not afterwards, but I gave it to display photos and now it works perfectly!

  When I checked the general tab afterwards, it did not have the checkbox to use the... start (a last..) one has been verified and the second has a blue full mark.

• Why my screen saver settings are grayed out

  On one user on my PC, I am unable to change the screen saver activation time of 10 minutes.  The box 'on CV.... ' is also unavailable.  Under XP it was only grayed out when the screen saver says 'None '. As soon as you have selected something, then you can change the values.  It's extremely frustrating because I can't make presentations without constantly moving the mouse back to does not not the system to go to sleep.  I went through all my programs and configurations of economy of energy but not available.  I log on a domain server, but it doesn't seem to be a problem with one of the other profiles that I use on the same computer.  I am currently trying to install a bunch of updates and see if it will work, but I don't think it will do as much as they seem to be unrelated with.

  In fact, I got my answer.  It comes from our domain server settings... arrrrrrgh.  but thank you.

• Since I updated Firefox a week ago, my screen saver does not work. I checked the settings and they are still just as I would like.

  My screensaver is scheduled to start after 15 minutes. I checked the preview and it works. However, it does not start after hours of inactivity. What has changed?

  I don't think that Firefox has hooks that would prevent the screensaver from starting.
  It may not be compatible with the latest version of Firefox.
  Please try a different screen saver. I use Digital Aquarium Screensaver and it works well.

• Monitor turns off after 5 minutes & password protect when he wakes up. View properties - > screen saver "Wait: __minutes" and "on RESUME, Password Protect" checkboxes are grayed out.

  Help, please!

  I'm on a processor to work, so I've limited the administrative rights on the computer. My work function requires that I propose on the desktop to help others with professional assignments.

  THE PROBLEM: After 5 minutes of inactivity mouse/keyboard of the monitor off on the processor to work, she does not even go to a screensaver first, the screen turns off just in standby mode. When the mouse is moved or a key is struck, the screen lights up with a name/password user. I am developing carpal tunnel / repetitive stress syndrome having to retype my username and password so darn times per day, at the expense of some administrative setting of BOGUS Microsoft Windows... SHEESH!

  When I click on Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> display-> Display Properties-> screen saver , the "Wait: __minutes" and "On resume, password protect" checkboxes are GRISEES OUT [you can't edit these settings] . In addition, the default screen saver is set to void and no matter how many times I change it to something else and click 'Apply' return empty by default.

  TWO SERIOUS CONCERNS:

  Un When I'm away from my desk for more than 5 minutes, if someone arrives at my office, looking for me, it seems that my machine is completely off, so that co-workers can get the impression that I am out of the office when I could very well be just down the Hall.

  Two The Office I'm implemented in a motion sensor energy saving lights in the office, if the lighting turns off automatically too, so if I'm missing in the server room or help someone at their work station for an extended period of time, if someone comes to my office, looking for me, my machine seems to be completely off AND turned off the lights in my room , so it's as if I has not yet come to the office that day there!

Because doctors and human beings humans with a bit of common sense finally realized that we must be sure that we move around during the day, at least several times per day, not only the stationary to our office location - watch a screen - ensuring that move us the mouse every five minutes so that our machine is not hibernate and look like it is not to do anything?

  Hello JDG_SF, welcome.

  These options are very likely controlled by your GP (Group Policy) settings on your domain. Due to the nature of the work of rights how administrative, there is no way to work around this problem, unless you have access to change group policy settings that affect all the machines on your network.

  You would need to access or to change the settings of GP or find someone who already has access.

  Could someone please tell me how to activate my screen saver, I did a fresh install of windows 7 Home premium and the BONE seems to work very well.

  As soon as I select a screen saver and press apply/ok I wait a few minutes and nothing!  , apparently, this function can be modified via local group policy / I can not even find the local policy snap in my MMC not home premium can't?

  Any help with this rather annoying problem would be nice.

  The original version doesn't have access to all the functions that are available in the Pro or ultimate versions (company?). That said, the screen savers are enabled by default, so if none of them work something may be blocking them. Maybe some program/utility running in the background, or with a parameter to disable screensavers while the application runs.

• My offices are reorganizing after that the screen saver is running

  Hi all

  I encountered a problem with El Capitan that I lived for a while and don't have only recently started to nail.  Every once in a while (and), my virtual workstations will reorganize.  I have three desktops that I keep open at work all the time.  Office 1 has applications assigned to him, and the other two do not.  However, Desktop 2 and 3 office often get switched.  It seems to happen after the screen saver has run for a bit, and as far as I know, I do anything to make it.  I know that you can drag - move desktop to manually reorder, but this is not what is the cause.

  Someone would have seen this happen before, and to know what anyone?  Or have I met an unknown problem?

  Thanks for the help!
