Suspension of screensaver
Hi group,
Sorry for posting right away without lurking for a while. When I watch DVDs on my computer, or download large files (56k modem) the screensaver or power save scheme cuts in and spoils my plans. I realise that I could go into screensaver manually every time and disable it, but that is tedious. I thought there might be a utility to do it for me, or a switch. If there is a FAQ for this group which covers this question, please direct me. Thanks a bunch. Dave W. |

If you're using Windows Media Player, ToolsOptionsPlayerPlayer Settings uncheck "Allow Screen Saver during Playback". If using WinDVD or something, look for a similar option somewhere in the program. Can't help you with the download problem, though. But the screensaver starting should not be cutting off your file download...if it is, something else is wrong. |
