Screensaver Help

I set my screensaver for two minutes to check that it works properly. I have Windows Media Player running, and after 5 minutes, it still hasn't kicked in. Does it not work if WMP is running? I haven't touched the mouse or keyboard.

Depends on what is running - is it a film or music? 7 might disable it then.

music

In search type screen saver, go to turn screen saver on and off. Make sure that the time is set correctly and that you have a screen saver indicated and not none. Set it for at least 5 minutes.

Music should not have an effect

I right clicked on desktop
Clicked personalize
Selected screensaver on bottom rt
Selected screensaver
Set the time
checked "on resume display logon" box
Hit apply
Then Ok

I do also have Utorrent running, but it seems to me that that shouldn't effect it.

Open WMP12 and go to Organize -> Options -> Player
Check the option Allow screensaver during playback

µTorrent tends to steal window focus in a strange way from WMP12, but I have only experienced this when running WMP's visualizations in fullscreen, not screensavers, so this definitely works... for music.

Word, I'll try that and report back!
