stuck on screensaver
HP, XP with SP3
First time ever, screen got stuck after on a while, maybe 2 hrs. The screen saver (Starfield) was frozen, and hitting any key or escape did not change this. It was like in a dead sleep! I turned off and rebooted from 'tower'. Searched for 'hibernate", searched for 'sleep' and 'sleep mode' no result. Where are they? I found Power Option Properties, and 'enable hibernate' not checked, Turn off monitor was showing "after an Hour"...hmmm, I now changed it to "Never" Turn off hard disk was "never", System standby was "never" Anything more that I should do? TIA Sylvia M. |

TIA Sylvia M. Though it could be a fluke, there could be a hardware problem... first off I'd make sure *all* cooling fans are turning properly and not clogged with dust. -- https://www.createspace.com/3707686 |
