Although I have set up a screensaver by going into START, CONTROL PANEL, DISPLAY, SCREENSAVER and SETTINGS etc I can't get the screensaver facility to work after the set period of time.
I know most of you guys might think this is a very simple procedure but it's a huge hurdle to a technological no-brain like me :smileyblush: - can anybody out there help me?
Hi echomaster
In Start > Control panel > Display > Screensaver, next to the settings button click on the preview button (don't move your mouse after clicking the preview button or the preview will not work!!)
Does the screen saver run ?
Have you tried a different screen saver.?

Oh well, guess I was mistaken, this aint a simple problem so I suppose it's a trip to PC World and get conned out of my money.
Hi echomaster,
It could be an application that is preventing the screensaver from kicking in.
Try disabling all but the most necessary applications at startup (using msconfig > Startup Tab) and then reboot. If the screensaver then works it will be a matter of trial and error to eliminate the culprit(s).
Hi Rich912,
Thanks for that I'll have a go and see if this resolves my problem.
