thancock Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I just want to know if I'm the only one! Everytime I set the 3D Windows XP Screensaver as my defult screensaver my screen doesn't turn off... it works fine with other screensavers. I've even wiped Windows XP since the first time I had the problem and install again... no luck though! Anyone else had a similar problem or has anyone fixed it? :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H. Veteran Posted January 6, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2002 well hello.. hehe why bother use a SS if you set your monitor to turn off. Simply choose one or the other... next i think the reason has to do with the samething that happens when you watch movies on your PC. It uses DirectX which keeps the monitor from going to sleep but so does some of the others so i don't fully understand it but since you're monitor can go into standby just disbable the screensavers and set your monitor to go to sleep at the same time interval as the screensaver would come on... saves power and who sits and watches a screensaver anyways... I can't believe people still use those things anyways.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
