Hi David,

Right click on the desktop and select properties and flip to the screensaver tab. Change the time
under Screensaver settings.

I can right click and flip to the screensaver tab, but the time area and the
box to check that prompts for password are not clickable! they are just not
highlighted. and when I click on settings it says that the screensaver has
no options that I can set! is there a fix for that?
