The screen saver is not loading

potassium · 13 Jan 2011

Hey all.

I want the screen saver to load after 20 minuets.
But currently after 20 minutes the power saver of the screen is loading instead...

What can I do?

You need to follow this tutorial: Power Plan Settings - Change

Instead of having the display turn off or go to sleep just set it to 'never'

OK,

maybe the problem was because the screen saver and the power saver of the screen were both for 20 minutes?

probably that is the reason.. another could be you have a desktop and have no video card installed.. but logically, you would see nothing if you have set the monitor to turn off at the same time the screen saver would start

thank you.

last question -
an i adjut the Screen Saver to 20 minutes, and the power saver of the screen to 40 minutes?
It will work?

In theory it should work, but in reality, you'll have to get your first problem sorted out first so that your screen saver is coming on at the right time (currently 20 minutes) and that your power plan settings are working as they should. Once those problems are sorted out, if you set the screen saver to come on after 20 minutes followed by the power saver to start 20 minutes later, there shouldn't be any problem.
