Help- Forced Standby

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

I am running Windows XP security pack 2 on a Dell Dimension desktop computer.

I installed a screensaver and every time my screensaver comes on, it forces
my computer into ‘Standby’ mode- making me choose an account and log into
Windows to resume.

In my power settings, I have my power scheme to “Always Onâ€; have System
Standby set to “never†and Enable Hibernate unchecked. I can also not find
any other type of secondary power setting program running that would override
the Windows power settings I have set up.

Any ideas on how I can get it to stop going into standby mode, besides
disabling my screensaver, which I like and do not want to get rid of?

Thanks,
Brian

Hello,

It would seem to me that the screensaver is the cause of the machine going into standby. You may
want to go through the readme that came with the screensaver or contact the writer of the
screensaver program.

Control Panel/Display/Screensaver tab, uncheck the option "on resume display
welcome screen".
Control Panel/Power Options/Advance tab, uncheck the option "prompt for
password when computer resumes from standby".

Seems like a clear cut cause and effect. Contact the screen saver
vendor. They might have some resolution.
