| | Screensaver not working in sleep mode I recently purchased a Lenovo & when I put it into sleep mode, the screensaver doesn't run. I have checked my settings & everything seems to be ok, but I am technologically challenged!  Any help would be appreciated. |

| | Welcome to SF. Did you know about screensaver and sleep mode? Quote: Sleep is a power-saving state that allows a computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your computer into the sleep state is like pausing a DVD player—the computer immediately stops what it’s doing and is ready to start again when you want to resume working. Screensaver only work when system is idle and not sleeping. |

| | Right the screen saver or the feature/option to turn the screen off at a pre-difined time doesn't work in SLEEP MODE. Sleep mode puts the system to SLEEP, IE in a Near OFF STATE. What you are asking is akin to "Why can't I cook Breakfast for myself before I wake up in the morning". Because you are Asleep. |

| | While I do appreciate the quick responses, I am not a complete moron. My previous computers had Vista & XP for operating systems & the screen savers ran in both while in sleep mode. I naturally made the assumption that it was either a Windows 7 change or it was a Lenovo quirk. |

| | Then they were not sleeping.  No one said you were a moron. |

| | I take it you don't think what we are saying is the truth? If so then please do a Google search for the meaning of Sleep Mode. Sorry if what I or any other poster said seemed to be rude. |

| | I did that, found nothing on having a screensaver run while in sleep mode. Strange. |
