[increase screen saver idle time]

Whenever I look at a film online for longer than 10 minutes my windows screen saver appears and I have to move my cursor to make it go away so that I can resume looking at the film. There must be a way to lengthen the time it goes on from 10 minutes to an hour. How? Thanks in advance!

 

Hi, Albert.

1. Please right-click on an empty portion of your desktop screen and select Properties.
   This will open your Display Properties window.
2. Click the Screen Saver tab.
3. About 2/3 the way down the window, highlight the number in the Wait: field and type 60
4. Click the Apply button and then the OK button.

 

Thanks!

Thanks mailman! How simple that fix was and boy did you reply fast! Happy Holidays!

 

You're welcome. I'm glad my suggestion worked.

Thanks for your follow-up and Happy Holidays to you too!

 

What player do you use albert1013?

I know some players, like the official DivX Player from DivX Inc., have an option to disable screensavers while playing.

 

Thank you KryptivChewey

Thanks Kryptic. Mailman answered my question but I will look into your suggestion. Thanks again!
