Problem with the screensaveer

spennyd · 05-28-2004, 09:53 AM

When I activate the Fish screensaver, v.99L, it overrides my power settings and prevents my computer from going into standby or hibernation. I set my computer up to automatically go into standby after an hour or so, so I never turn it off. But with this screensaver activated it overrides that setting and the computer stays running all night long. I have NOT checked the box to "disable monitor sleep mode", so I would expect the monitor to still go into sleep mode...but it does not.

Has anyone else had/fixed this same problem in the past?

Thanks.

...And your Model T Ford can't seem to keep up with today's freeway traffic. Why are you using .99L? There have been many updates over the last 4 years. Go to SereneScreen.com and download the latest version.
