Screensaver won't say on it shuts off after 10 minutes

[Guest Megumi]

I had to reinstall Windows XP and I installed CA Solution Ultimate Suite for

security. My screensaver which worked fine before now on stays on for 10

minutes then it goes back to my desktop and stays like that. I've tried

everything from changing the screensaver to adjusting the times. I set it to

hibernate, not to hibernate, to standby, do to nothing and to shutdown. I

don't think that is the problem but something underneath that is turning it

off. Please help (^_^)

Locate, download and install all updated drivers for your PC. Drivers

for devices like mice, modems and keyboard have been known to cause

this screen saver issue before.

Perhaps your "security" software is waking the PC up to do its scanning.

Type of mouse? Try disconnecting mouse just to determine if is the cause.

Or, configure so mouse cannot wake computer..
