Screen Saver will not come on

[kborgsmiller]

I cannot get my screen saver to work. I have read everything about using a
wireless keyboard and mouse, which I do not use. I am not very good with
computers, so any simple solutions for me to try?

Hi,

A screensaver not working is usually an indication of some background
process interfering. The simplest way to isolate it is to use Task Manager
(right click the taskbar and select it) to begin disabling processes a few
at a time until it kicks in properly. Don't panic too much doing this, as
Windows will not allow you to kill a system critical task (and even if you
do, rebooting will resolve it). Set your time-out short, then kill 2-3
processes (you should not have any applications running) and wait. If it
doesn't kick in, kill a few more. Repeat until it does. Post back when you
have isolated the problem to a single one.
