• How to set the password for the screen saver?

  When connecting, password is not necessary and I put it under 'control userpasswords2', but I'd like to set password within the screensaver 15 minutes idle.

  Anyone have any suggestions on how to do it?
  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  Hello

  You will need to set a password for the connection on your computer user account.

  After that, you can set the screen saver and set the option on the resumption, the logon screen and specify 15 Minutes to time waiting .

• Error messgae: "the screen saver cannot run because it requires a more recent video card", attempting to display the screen saver and the error code 40 download the fix.

  Original title: cannot run zip; error code 40 (hotfix for the video card)

  Hi, I ' m trying to view my screen saver and it seems to be causing "the screen saver can't run because it requires a newer video card or compatible with 3d graphics." (2030 M-windows7 dell) .thanks Jean-Michel

  Hi John,.

  1. what screen saver are you trying to view?

  2 is confined to a specific screen saver?

  3. have you installed SP1 for Windows 7?

  This problem occurs because of a problem in 3D screensavers.

  Fix error occurs if you have a corrupt hotfix package or may have downloaded the wrong patch for your platform.

  This can also occur if the hotfix is included in SP1 and you have already installed Windows 7 SP1.

  Method 1:

  You must make sure that the hotfix you download is depending on the version of Windows 7 installed on your computer.

  For more information, see the article:

  Error message when you set a 3D screen saver screen saver in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2: "the screen saver can't run because it requires a more recent or Direct3D-compatible video card.

  Please see if you can copy the file that you downloaded to another computer or location and try to unpack.

  When you download the fix, save it in a new location (on the desktop) and the password given with the fix allows to extract the file.

  Method 2:

  Step 1:

  You can also try to run the display quality Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

  Step 2:

  You too, try to install the latest version of the Site Web of Dell display drivers and check if it helps.

  Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

• Palm Treo Pro trouble: Windows media player passes each time the screen saver updated

  The treo Pro is an excellent application of low power consumption screensaver that displays date, time and info missed calls. However, the disappointment is that when you listen to music while in screen saver mode, windows media player ignores all the minutes when the clock on the screen saver updates / refreshes.

  Since the clock updates every minute, the player skips a beat with unerring accuracy.

  It's the solution to this problem. Please, do not respond to a 'solution' to disable the screen saver. I who have already tested and am aware of it. I don't want to disable the default screen saver.

  Agree. I discovered that letting Windows media player running on the screen prevents the screen saver from kicking in (which she does if the phone is on the screen today). The screen always shows the player running but will drive according to the configuration.

  With that, the problem is solved when I play music in a car, but it will be a pain when walking or jogging.

  So I guess the only solution is to disable the screen saver with a single operation... desire, I had an app for that!

• What can be done so that the screen saver images is displayed in a specific order?

  What can be done so that the screen saver images is displayed in a specific order? (I have about 100 photos in the folder I want to use, but they are always displayed in a random order).

  Hi c. Singman,.

  The random order of the images is by design.  Read the following article about the installer:

• You can set the password to the screen saver different password that the password system on Windows 7

  I want to set the password for the screen saver to something else that the network password that I use. Is this possible in Windows 7?

  It is not possible. When the screensaver starts and then interrupted, the login screen appears. Then, of course, it cannot be a different password.

• I am unable to adapt both the screen saver is activated

  I am unable to adapt both the screen saver is activated, I put the link, but it acts as if it was before progrmmed?

  Also is there a way to avoid to connect every time?

  The problem with these parameters is that they overlap.  The screen saver setting is perhaps not the one place to look: you should also watch your 'screen time out", as well as waiting times"lock screen ".  In addition, it could be the energy saving sleep timer.  From the point of view of the user, they all look the same (the screen turns off), but to get the desired exact situation, you may need to check up to 4 places.

  1. Right-click on the desktop > personalize > screen saver
     Even if you do not use a screensaver, this timer value is used to lock the screen.  The value 'none' and make sure that the check box is disabled, it does not require a password.
  2. Power options > Change when turn off the display
     Also look at the "require a password on wakeup" option here
     
  3. Power options > change when the computer sleeps
     Also look at the "require a password on wakeup" option here
     
  4. Application settings > lock screen settings

• Tecra M7 - after which the screen saver will not return

  Occasionally, the screen turns off according to power options, but not coming back when you press keys or the mouse is moved. The only way I can get the screen to wake-up is to transform the notebook into tablet mode and vice versa.

  This always the screen wakes up but is boring to do. This problem is only intermittent and if it has place at all this is the first time, the screen turns off after coming out of hibernation or otherwise turn on.

  Y at - it a fix for this problem?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Not easy to say why it happens.
  The display turns off automatically or did you put the laptop into sleep mode.
  This occurs if the laptop is in the PC mode or Tablet PC?

  If we talked about Eve so as far as I know the laptop wakes up not of mode before moving the mouse. You must press the power button.
  In addition, you can wake up a screen with the mouse only moves if the screen saver was.

  However, you said that sometimes happens.
  I put t don't know if this helps, but check the Toshiba driver page.
  Check the versions available and compare. Try to update the graphics driver

• 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.

  2. click on 'Harware and its' option

  3. now, select "Power Options" now you should see the options of 'Balanced or High Performance' under 'Select power management.

  4. Select the "Balanced" option and click on "change plan settings".

  5. now, you will find an option "Disable display" default is 'Never' and if not please change it to "never."

• Can't get my T500 to go to the screen saver?

  I use a new T500 Vista Ultimate x 32. I hate to post this question because what sounds lame, but I put all the options I know how to set and for some reason any I can't the system ever put off the screen or go to a screen saver when I am logged in. If I logout (leave the screen on the initial login screen Vista) the system uses energy saving options and turn off the screen and ends by himself to sleep. I changed the F3 key to turn the display off. When I press that, the screen may go off then on then off, then on several occasions but eventally just stay on.

  This seems to be a problem because I did a full restore of the system recovery CD.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Well, the thing is that, for me, my USB is extremely sensitive to vibrations or movements. (Since it is a laser mouse)

  For this reason, the movements of the mouse prevents him from going to the screen saver since no inactivity is detected.
