screen saver doesn't work

[Guest Shaun]

Hello,

 

I just bought a copy of Windows XP Pro and installed it. I noticed that my

screen saver doesn't come on after the set time and the odd time that it

does, it stays on for less that a minute and then goes back to the desktop

screen, or logon if I set a password.

 

Any idea how I can fix this. I've tried diffent screen savers, the ones

that come with Windows XP, I first tried the 3D Windows screen saver.

 

thanks in advance,

 

Shaun

Re: screen saver doesn't work

 

That would be caused by the computer not being truly idle, and something

causing activity. See what is happening by looking in Task Manager,

Processes, CPU activity.
