[SOLVED] Permanently the screensaver

Hello!

I am currently working on Windows 7. I created a screensaver with Visual Studio 2010, which uses Windows Media Player to run videos. Now, I want to make it available for distribution. I can right click on my .scr file and choose 'Install', and it works fine. But then if I ever change my screensaver to something else, my custom screensaver disappears from the list of screensavers. I read that screen savers can be added permanently to the list by placing them in Windows/System32. If I place the src file and all other files in the directory (for example AxInterop.WMPLib.dll) in Windows/System32, the screen saver will appear in the list but does nothing when you press 'Preview '. How can I get a copy of the screen saver constantly added to the list of screen saver and make it work?

Thank you

The problem was solved! I put the screensaver in System32 when it is I should have been placed in SysWOW64. I thought about her when I tried a different screen saver that did not use Windows Media Player. I thought I had already added the another screen saver constantly with System32 before I asked this question, but apparently not. I didn't know themes existed until you pointed out to me, but I don't think I want to use in this case. In any case, thanks for Tadasha that responded to the questionnaire.

  • How to disable permanently the spell check in Notes

    How to disable permanently the spell check in Notes?

    Here are my steps:

    1. With the help of Notes in OS X 10.11.5, click Edit/spelling and grammar and then clearly the 2 options "check spelling as you type" and "automatically correct spelling."
    2. Close and re - open Notes.

    What I expected:

    only the two options "check spelling as you type" and "automatically correct spelling" is always disabled when Notes is reopened

    In fact:

    the two options "check spelling as you type" and "automatically correct spelling" is enabled once more

    Spell check in Notes for a reason any seems particularly disruptive and unnecessary. Any way to turn it off permanently?

    Hi Craggy1230,

    Unfortunately, when you use the shortcuts of the printer the problem you describe is by design. She will spend on the parameter by default if you make a change to another shortcut. Follow the steps below to create your own shortcuts for your printing needs.

    1. open the printer preferences

    2. click on the shortcut each day printing and then change the format of A4 paper

    3. click the Save as button and name the shortcut that you wish to

    4. click apply and then ok to exit Printer preferences

    Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each shortcut that you want to create. Let me know if you need help.

  • Prevent the screensaver and wake up from sleep

    Is there a way to "Cascades" to prevent the screen saver? I am also interested in waking up the device and disable the screensaver from code.

    There's this way to do natively:

    int idle_mode = SCREEN_IDLE_MODE_KEEP_AWAKE;
    screen_set_window_property_iv(screen_window,
        SCREEN_PROPERTY_IDLE_MODE, &idle_mode);
    

    But I hope that there is a more pleasant way to do likewise to the waterfalls or Qt?

    From my code here:

        onKeepAwakeChanged: {
            // This should be keepAwake ? ScreenIdleMode.KeepAwake : ScreenIdleMode.Normal
            // but the enum is broken in QML
            Application.mainWindow.screenIdleMode = keepAwake ? 1 : 0;
        }
    

    The comment may be outdated. If this isn't the case, of course use the enum instead of hard-coding the 1 and 0.

    You could do this in C++ too, where the enum will work certainly, but of course with a slightly different syntax.

  • Why the screensaver stop working after a few minutes and then go to the black screen permanently?

    I use Vista Home Premium with Explorer 8. My screensaver always works for about 5 minutes and then stops and goes to a black screen. Still black screen and my screen saver active ever again until I have move my cursor to display the page I was on. The screen saver does not available parameters except to set the number of minutes, I want to start. I ran antivirus, anti-spyware-malware etc the gamet, but anything is wrong with the screen saver. I am blocked and never had this problem before. Anyone know what is happening, what is the cause and how to fix this?

    If you changed your diet plan or changed some settings for your course, it can happen.

    (1) go in the bottom right of your screen and click on the battery icon and click more power options (assuming that you have a laptop. If you don't go to the control panel (Classic view) and go into power options)

    (2) on your package (indicated by a blue dot next to it), click on change plan settings and navigate screen however turn it off for a long time, you want it to be before he turns off the screen.

    I do not recommend messing around with drivers, because when I did, it messed up my screen and ended up back where I was before she has nothing (sorry James). of couse I messed up a little and the only real problem was the catylist control center has disappeared, and when I tried to fix this, I came across problems (it looked like a safe mode without the mode without failure of words on the corners)

  • Set the screensaver via the Terminal timer

    El Capitan, latest version running

    Hello

    To manage remote computers, I would like to set the timer to 0 CLI screen saver. I've seen several posts suggesting changing the entrance of com.apple.screensaver.plist called 'idleTime' but as far as I KNOW, there is no such key in this plist: affects only info on the current screen saver and a 'type', as you can see here.

    I tried to add this key, but it did not work.

    How can I achieve that?

    Thank you

    Those that are stored in the ByHost folder. To change those, add the switch - currentHost:

    values by default - currentHost write com.apple.screensaver temps_inactivite 1800

    In addition, this key exists only if you change. If you leave it at the default of 20 minutes, there is no need key.
