Windows Forum / Windows XP / New Users / August 2007Desktop and Screensaver - HELP!
I have a desktop theme which I wish to keep but have added a screensaver to start after 5 minutes of inactivity. However, after the 5 minutes the screen turns black instead of the screensaver. What setting do I need to change? Thanks! > I have a desktop theme which I wish to keep but have added a screensaver to > start after 5 minutes of inactivity.

The monitor turns black since it is possible that the power savings setting allows it. Check for this in the box labeled "Energy savings features of monitor" box in the Screensaver applet. Terri, do a Search for it. Click on the All files and folders and in the All or part of file Name box type: *.scr The Screensaver you added should show up in the C:\Windows\System32 Folder. If not move it there. >I have a desktop theme which I wish to keep but have added a screensaver to >start after 5 minutes of inactivity.

If your Theme Screensaver has a 3-D aspect to it maybe it's overpowering your system graphics. Some require a good 3-D capable Video Card. >I have a desktop theme which I wish to keep but have added a screensaver to >start after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Hello, Start Control Panel Performance and Maintenance Power Options On the Power Schemes Tab, under turn off monitor - select never. I have my hard disks set to turn off every 2 hours. System Standby....never - but this is up to you. With the monitor set to never turn off, it should not go to black....tapping or moving the mouse usually brings you back to desktop, right? Take Care...Dee |
