    How to get the screen saver to activate?


    I have selected 'bubbles' and a time delay for the screen saver. However it is still just a black screen with a 'log back in screen' and I think hibernation later on.

    I just want the screen saver only. Cancel the rest. Where do i find the setup ?

    Hello AaLF,

    If you don't want password protection when resuming from screen saver, then the tutorial below can show you how to disable that.
    If you don't want to use hibernate at all, then disabling it would be the easiest way.
    If the screen saver is not working at all, then you might see if running a SFC /SCANNOW command may help if you have a corrupted system file at fault.

    Hope this helps, :)
