  Problem is when I go to the screen saver settings all I have is the screen savers (no more six screensavers of Win10) and the selection button is not highlighted. I tried the mwnu of customization, but there is nothing that I see that would help. OD did I miss something?

  Grateful for any help. TIA.

• My screen saver settings box is grayed out (locked)

  My screen saver settings box is grayed out (locked) and allow me to choose a screen saver, even though my customizations page shows my saved theme screen saver.  How to "turn" the screen saver settings?

  Hi dez9rlady,

  I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the screen saver.

  1 how long have you been experiencing this problem for?

  2. have you recently installed or uninstalled any software?

  3. you experience this with all the screen savers in the list?

  4. what version of Windows 7 operating system is installed on your computer?

  5. you are the administrator of your computer?

  6. your computer is under any active field?

  Go to start > run and type regedit. The Registry Editor opens.

  Find the following registry key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop

  Look for the entry that says SCRNSAVE. EXE and the clear key.

  In addition, if you have an entry that says ScreenSaveActive, delete this key as well.

  Once you do this, you should be able to choose a screen saver.

  Note: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• 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!

• 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

• 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.

• How to activate the screen saver in windows 7?

  Hello!

  Impossible to activate screen saver like menu drop-down is dimmed.

  Need help! This is a very serious problem. Imagine that you watch videos from your laptop connected to HD TV via the Port of the display, the screen is HD and suddenly screen goes black because the screensaver is already activated. Then, you must get up and touch something to recover the picture on your screen. And must repeat the operation every 20 minutes!

  I have Canon set up or do anything with the settings on the screen saver as menu drop-down is dimmed.

• How to get the screen saver photos slideshow goes completely after 2 minutes

  Since I got windows 7 my photo slide show I had always put to screen saver turns off after 2 minutes. I love looking at all the photos of my grandchildren, my screensaver settings is correct, but I don't want my screen to go black after only a few pictures

  Hi Emmauscapeofgoodhopesupportteam,

  I think I have the solution to your problem, who can you look at pictures of your grandchildren.

  As you said you have the correct settings for the screen saver, but your power management options can be verified.

  Please follow the instructions below.

  1. click 'START' and select 'control panel '.

  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."

  so this should keep your monitor after happening to the screensaver. If you want to be off after some time, you can select required time to the same option settings.

• Mac Pro freezes on the screen saver 10.11.5

  Have a Mac Pro and have a problem when the system freezes and locks up and must power cycle back.    He had related app so tested, but also happens with no apps running third and now thinking seems to be related screensaver.  I have turned off the screen saver and will see what happens now.  However, someone else has the issue of the screensaver crashing the OS X on a Mac Pro to 10.11.5?

  No, I have not heard of this.

  You do not all apps of third parties running in the foreground, but can still cause the problem. Boot in safe mode (hold down the SHIFT key when starting) and see if the problem persists when the screen saver is used.

• How to disable the screen saver when you watch videos in full screen in firefox?

  This only happens with Firefox, other browsers videos play normally and without interruption. I want to keep my window screen saver by default but not when watching full-screen mode.

  The Flash Player plugin must normally block the system to go to sleep, reduce the brightness of the display or go to the screen saver when you are using full-screen. It is strange that you have this problem with Flash.

  There are workaround solutions such as the use of an add-on or an external program that simulates the movement of your mouse, but those who really shouldn't be necessary.

  VLC, I don't know.

  Furthermore, you closed and restarted Windows because this problem first occurred? Just in case where some component shared Windows crashed.

• Re: Satellite A200-1BQ, does not not after the screen saver

  Hi, I have a Satellite A200, 32-bit Windows 7 OS. When you use the screensaver to the PC stop responding. Have to spend because no response.

  If you have a report some problem send it please.

  Hello

  This means that Windows 7 hangs and does not answer only when the screen saver has been activated?
  Have you noticed the same problem with Win XP or Win Vista?

  If not then this behavior of the laptop could be related only to Win 7 and I think that it might be caused by the graphic card driver

  Remove the graphics driver that you have installed and test the screen saver using the common windows driver 7

  It would be interesting to know what is happening
