Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / November 2008Screen Saver Will Not Work
I just bought a new Toshiba laptop with Vista OS but, the screen savers will not work. However, I can access the screen savers through the Control Panel and even "Preview" them. Anybody have an idea as to how I can make the screen savers "work"? How about a little more info. How do you know the screen savers don't work? What did you do to test it? >I just bought a new Toshiba laptop with Vista OS but, the screen savers >will [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Anybody have an idea as to how I can make the screen savers "work"? > How about a little more info.

I know I have screen savers since I can "preview" them in control panel. I switched between screen savers and also set the time for ten minutes and also one minute. No longer how long the computer is inactive...no screen saver Are you using a mouse additon to the touchpad? If so, try removing the mouse. It also can be related to any other device connected through usb. >> How about a little more info. How do you know the screen savers don't >> work?

No longer how long the computer is inactive...no screen saver My old IBM laptop was doing the same thing whenever I would use my wireless mouse. There is an update you can install from your list of Microsoft updates (the name escapes me...sorry) that is designed to remedy this. I believe it's one of the "optional" updates. Good luck!  Signaturescrodzilla I have not yet found an answer how to get the screen saver to work. Has anyone solved the problem?

Same prob with a Dell laptop + Vista - can preview but won't work on their own. Dell support suggested removing some programs from startup menu or uninstalling dvd power option but i figure the screen saver should work on its own. I didn't try those options because those solutions are equally as troubling. It just shouldn't be that complicated. :( > I just bought a new Toshiba laptop with Vista OS but, the screen savers will > not work.

Dell Media Experience, Power DVD, ehtray.exe and DVD Launcher can cause the issue similar to the one you are experiencing.This happen because applications running in the startup directory. The startup directory has files that belong to applications that are installed in the computer. Signaturelian |
