Hi, Guys, I love the screensaver, have it on, and am using pics to randomly show on screensaver ever 3 min. But, screensaver sometimes doesn't work. Sometimes, my screen will sit there unused for several minutes and screensaver isn't coming on. Only if I go in to screensaver settings and back out will it work maybe once or so. What am I doing wrong? Is power settings supposed to be set a certain way? Help. karen

I had some erratic behaviour with screen saver and screen locking and I think the display blanking setting under power manager and activate screensaver timer setting under Screensaver interact with each other somehow.
Look under Settings -> Power Manager -> Display Tab
If 'Blank after' is zero, try setting it the same or greater than your screen saver computer idle time.

Mine gets turned off every time I reboot, and I simply go to Settings --> Screensaver and select it again. Minor little nuisance.

Yes, the display setting can't be set to zero, like you said above, and setting it to greater than your screensaver settings is the ticket. That has been working. Yay!

Mine does the same thing but I think having to redo it every time is a major nuisance. :022: :022: My "Blank after" setting is set to the same as my setting for the screensaver time but it still does it. Has anyone come up with another "fix" for this? Thanks.

Have you tried setting "Blank After" so it is longer than the screensaver idle time ?

Actually when I went in to check on the setting, I put the Blank after time to 5 min and changed the screensaver time to 5 minutes and it has worked just fine ever since, lol. Thanks for reading! :wave
