Trouble:
Few days back, we received a mail from one of our readers, Ian from Jenak Industries Inc reporting problem with windows screen-saver.
He reported that “I cannot get my computer to activate the screen-saver all I get when I got to
the change scree-saver in control panel and activate a program it accepts it but when the display turns off and it is supposed to bring up the screen-saver I get a black screen”
On analyzing the reported problem, I could make out that before activation of screen saver, the screen goes blank. This usually happens due to power settings.
The problem may appear like a big blunder but it actually is a very simple to fix, lets see the fix.
Fix:
This means even if the screen saver is correctly configured it will never show up if the power settings of windows force the screen to go blank or stand-by the computer before actual display timeout of the scree.
To fix it follow these simple steps:
1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Power Options.
2. This will launch power options screen as seen below.
3. On this screen, Select the
Power schemes as “Presentation”
Turn off Monitor : “Never”
Turn off hard disk : “Never”
System standby : “Never”
System Hibernates : “Never”
4. Make sure that above settings are correct. Press Apply and then Ok.
These settings will prevent the display from going blank and thus the screen saver will appear normally.
