Why does my internet work randomly even when the screen saver is turned off?
When I connect and start the computer to the top and all, computer speakers begin to work as if I was already on the Internet. When the screen saver went off the screen and the screen is black, you can hear the speakers go to random times, as if I was online but I'm not. Need help please, my computer looks like its haunted by video ads. This was initially the Visa Commercial card, secondly the advertising of McDonald's.
My updates are not updated, I also tried for two weeks, I need help here too. I have now accumulated 17 updates to download, but they do not.

I have a monitor connected to my laptop using the VGA connector.
Laptop LCD is set as the primary display and the additional monitor is defined as the extended desktop. When the screen saver appears, it shows on the main screen. How can I make it work on both? (without setting the external display as a clone of the hand).
The OS is Vista Home PremiumThanks for any help!
ElIn dual screen extended mode, Win7 screen saver stops working after unpluging external monitor
I have problems of this kind.
I have listed what I've done to illustrate how to reproduce this.
My OS is win7 32 bit.
The replication steps are
1. start on OS with integrated display (it is the system of n. b.)
2. attach the HDMI (external monitor).
3. turn on the extended mode and HDMI monitor as the primary device.
4. set the screen saver 3D to be active and preview.
Screensaver 3D drawing now works on the main screen.
the secondary monitor (built-in monitor) working with black screen.
5. hot unplug a HDMI monitor.
6. the display of the 3D screen saver is changed back to the built-in screen.
7. BUT the drawing of 3D on the built-in screen screensaver is STOPPED (= NOT updated).

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 256MI 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.

new video card needs the screen saver
On my new Compaq Presario CQ45-703TUNB when I try to change the screen saver it tells me Ineed new viseo map with thogh 3D, the message is a screen saver
Hello
According to its characteristics, its video card is not good for 3D, and you can not change the video card on your computer. Also, why do you need screen saver? Did you know that all modern monitors can now go to sleep. Screensaver will force the screen burn its tiny pixels faster so shorten its life and also consumes more electricity.
I hope this helps.

Satellite C660D-102 blocks when past to the screen saver
Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite C660D-102 of Windows 7 OS. Basically, if my computer is left unattended, and goes to the screen saver, it freezes and has to be restarted by holding down the power button. If I'm listening to the music, makes a loud noise when it does this until it is turned off.
Anyone has any ideas of what could be the cause?
Thanks, Matt+ The message was edited: changed name of the laptop.
Hi Matt
To be honest, this laptop T series is unclear to me. What is the correct model name or model number?
Are you using the original pre-installed OS?
Have you noticed this problem since the day where we?
Do you use the standard Windows screensaver?
Did you install additional software that is running in the background?Sorry for these questions but it is not easy to give you simple answer and specifies what may be the problem.

How is the screen saver for the photos?
Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!
Note: files or images will be stored in the same C:\Windows\System32\PhotoScreensaver.scr file after the image is removed from the main location. This is the reason why the photos appear even after their removal. And once you navigate and new photos as your screensaver the old ones will be replaced automatically.
See the link below to learn more about the Windows Photo Gallery:

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!
