With Vista, I do not see a possibility to go to the screen saver after a few minutes, and then stop.

I can't understand how to activate a screen saver. I would like it to go to sleep after 20 minutes of not used.

Hello

To activate the screen saver, right click on the desktop and click personalize and then screen saver

Go to control panel-> hardware and sound-> power options

Then click on change when computer sleeps

We can see an option to put the computer to sleep, select 20 minutes (on battery and plugged in) and click on save changes

Good luck

  • Vista crashes after using it for a few minutes and then does not start (after a few hours - it starts and again the same problem)

    I'll have this weird problem and did not find the problem. Suddenly my laptop (Lenovo Y710 - 4 GB RAM - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit) crashes after a few minutes of activity, Vista freezes. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work. If I force close to the bottom and then try to restart, it do display anything. I tried to start in safe mode, but after pressing f8 and it only beeps and still doest appear anyting on screen you. If I try to start the laptop after a few hours it starts again and minutes it freezes again. I noticed this problem for the first time when using RDP to my desktop, but it wasn't the first time I've done RDP. I have not installed new hardware or drivers. Am not able to nail the question, would appreciate any help.

    Thank you.

    This is no doubt hardware failure. The laptop could be overheating and/or other components could be involved. Contact Lenovo technical support or take to a competent local computer Tech do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

    If you have a pretty good level of computer skills, you can test some components yourself although it is more difficult to make accurate material on a laptop computer troubleshooting.

  • Lightroom 6 refuses to photos of the catalog.  Begins to display previews and then stops.  Sometimes does not display previews

    Running Lightroom 6 on Windows 7 x 64.

    Until recently, everything worked as it should.  Yesterday, I imported some files from my camera without any problems.

    Today I took my vacation photos of 2 cameras and jpeg images copied, RW2 (Panasonic Raw) images and m2ts video files on my HARD drive in a file tree with one file per day.

    I tried to import using Add (leave the files where they are and catalogue everything simply), but the preview images remained empty and when I hit Import lightroom says "Import files" and then did nothing for about 10 minutes then I hit the Cancel button and a message "no files found to import.

    I moved the files to a drive external HARD, removing them from the target HDD and tried a copy option.  Who did the same thing as the previous attempt.

    Finally, I tried to import some pics today of the camera (which worked perfectly yesterday) and starts building previews, he stops to half way through.  Try to import gives the same problem

    Advice would be appreciated

  • Why the screen saver does not work in the two screens?

    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 Premium

    In 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).

    8 move the mouse, built-in monitor escapes from the idle screen status (operating system is still alive)

    Is this an OS behave as expected?

    Hi aeadds,

    This can occur for the following reasons:

    1 network discovery is disabled.

    2. the computer you want to connect is not shared folders.

    Make sure there is at least a shared folder to connect to.

    3. the computers are not in the same workgroup.

    Confirm if the computers are in the same workgroup

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1: Disable the security software installed on the computer, to do this, follow steps mentioned in the link below them

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Important: After the test is done to activate the rear security software.

    Step 2: To enable network discovery

    1. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then click Network and sharing Center.

    2. If network discovery is off, click the arrow to expand the section, click turn on network discovery, and then click on apply.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To share files: Click the arrow to expand the file sharing section, click turn on file sharing, and then click on apply.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To share files using the Public folder: click the arrow to expand the Public sharing folder section, click on turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open files or turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change, and create files, and then click on apply.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Vista system does not see the files that are on a CD of HP, Intuit and others

    CD allows you to install different products does not work on my Vista Ultimate system when the CD has been made by the manufacturer to support Windows and Mac OS.  These CD work in an XP system and a Windows 7 system. I have two optical drives on the Vista system (two allow DVD writing) and installation CD fail the same way in the two discs.

    If I share a CD drive on the Windows 7 or XP System I and then place the CD in the drive, I can see all the files on the Vista system.  Another CD that do not also for Mac OS work well in all my systems. So far, a single CD of Intuit and two HP is failing.

    I made several complete scans of my system searching for virus using two tools each of Norton and Microsoft and can't find anything.

    When I said above fail, I wanted to say that Windows Explorer displays an incomplete list of files on the CD. To be more precise, the list displayed on the Windows vista system does not include autorun.inf or setup.exe. There are also listed things that should not be registered on a Windows install CD. VolumeIcon.icns and background for example. Basically, it seemed something to tell readers that they are on a Mac system.

    Earlier today, I solved this problem. It seems that someone (probably me or my son) XPlay 3 was installed on the system. For some reason, this included a copy of MacDrive. I think that MacDrive caused the problem by making the part Apple Mac of the CD to be the only part that was visible to my system. I uninstalled XPlay 3 and everything works fine now.

  • After installing Windows Vista, upgrades of office is now only 2 thirds of the screen, with one third black.

    Original title: April 16 to restart my computer after installing Windows Vista upgrades, my office is now only 2 thirds of the screen, with the third other black

    The whole office is there, but it is located in the Center, if the screen, with black bands at the top and bottom. By clicking full screen on the top right has no effect.

    Hi Jeremy,.

    Thanks a lot for your help. You're right, I should have said no upgrades and updates.
    There were a total of 10 updates:
    4 a security updates for Vista,
    1 security update for the Microsoft 2010 information access path,
    1 day of cumulative security for IE9.
    1 windows Live essential 2011
    1 definition update Windows Defender (KB915597)
    1 "" for Office 2010 "
    1 April 2013 malware tool
    I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. I felt that I should not uninstall the updates of security, and the Defender update can not be uninstalled. It made no difference.
    I also checked the graphics card and told me that I had the latest version of the software.
    Then I checked the configuration of the monitor and graphics card configuration and found I could set the configuration to full frame. I did it and now all is well again.
    How and why the full frame disappeared April 16 remains a mystery.
    Thank you very much for your information without your help I would have been unable to delve deeply into the system. I learned a lot.

    Problem of not seeing list drop-down connection to the wireless network when checking connections network - pc windows 7.

    I just installed a Belkin modem-router - which went well. Can I connect WiFi gadgets etc. I can also connect to the internet via a network cable to my pc. I also installed a belkin usb wireless adapter and in Device Manager, says it is enabled and works.

    My problem is, I have no way of choice get a WiFi PC to display in the list (from the notification area) and cannot get the pc to give me options to create a wi - fi connection. The more I get to try to do that is "unexpected error"!

    If someone could help on this - I would be very grateful

    Good news - update of my ongoing saga with this Belkin modem/router.

    Got the pc to see wi - fi now. It turned out to be the Zone Alarm! As the router has a firewall, I uninstalled Zone Alarm completely. Also, I went into the properties of belkin usb and checked it was the most recent drivers, it does not so I installed them.

    So far so good
