Screen saver freezes computer
I had my PC (Dell XPS 435T, with Win7 Ultimate 62 upgrade from Vista Ultimate 62) set to go into screen saver mode (with my pictures shuffled) after 5 minutes and then upon resumption logon with password to get back to the desktop. I found that the longer the screen saver was on, the longer it took to get back to the desktop. First, there would be a delay at the log-on screen (it would take 3-4 minutes for the desktop to appear), then if I waited for more than 5-6 hrs, the delay would occur when clicking the screen saver (it would freeze for 4-5 minutes), and no delay after I entered the password on the logon screen.
I now shut off the screen saver, and just use the "lock" option when sutting down my computer - and no delays. Could the screen saver photos just slowly jam the memory, or something like that - and is there a solution? I did not have this problem with Vista.
