Screen Saver

My screen saver won't work and I get a pop-up message"A Monitor Rule was
detected for the application system". I'm brand new to Vista and would
appreciate any help. I am using a Microsoft wireless mouse. Thanks

This is a configuration error message usually initiated by Norton Internet
Security. I don't have any other information except that it is probably a
setting in the Norton Firewall. You need to contact Norton support to
resolve this.

My screensaver is fine, but on my last computer (XP) I was able to use my
pics from Kodak Share as the screen saver. I would love to be able to do
that again, am on Vista now, any suggestions? Thanks, Patricia

Open Control Panel and go to Personalization/Screen Saver. Use the drop down
menu to select Photos. Click the Settings Button, click teh Browse Button
and select the folder where the pictures are located. You can also select
the speed and theme for the display in that dialog box. Click Apply/OK.

I am also trying to figure out how to make a screen saver run while the
computer is set to the log in page. I have a log in for the kids and do not
leave my account logged in. Did you find a resolution to this? Thanks

-- Ronnie,
I followed your directions with the Task Manager, and voila my screen saver
is working. I don't know much about computers and I was frustrated because
my beautiful screen saver of my daughter's wedding worked fine in XP. I also
rebooted after I changed things.....Thank you, thank you!

Hi Ronnie,
I am sad to say that the screen saver only worked for a few minutes and then
went black. ( It not only happens with my photos, but also with the
screen savers that came with my computer. I just bought this computer this
week with Windows Vista. This is very frustrating. Calling the Computer
Geeks at Best Buy is a big joke. They never answer the phone. Seeing that
it still doesn't work, should I deselect the End Process from the Task
Manager and reverse the procedure that I did hoping to get the screen saver?
If I don't, will it have any negative effects on my computer? I don't have
a wireless mouse, it's a Logitech, whatever that is. I would appreciate
anything else you might suggest to fix this.
Thank you,
Rosy

PS: Does Bill Gates ever answer his phone? )

Hi Rosy,

By default, the monitor is set to turn off after a certain amount of time.
You may need to either adjust the timeout, or stop it from turning off
altogether.

Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Power Options. Select "Change plan
settings" for your power plan, then adjust the time before Windows turns off
the display. You can adjust the timeout for Sleep there too.

Hi "Not Plain" Jane,

I followed your directions and so far so good. It does make sense that it
would be the monitor that went off and not the screensaver! We shall
see....Thank you.
