I just purchased a laptop with XP Media Edition, I just can't get the screen saver to work. After the alloted time the screen saver does NOT come on. If I have not loaded any softwares it works, but if i have any software running or minimized or just loaded, it does not work. I don't want to have image burn into the screen. Please help.

Still waiting

Thanks

LCD screens don't burn in.

does the screen go black or does it stay in the media center?

Stays on the software I am using. If I minimize all of them then it remains there. But I am glad that it does not burn in.

There are several. These same programs never gave me these issues on my old desktop which use to run on ME.
I have a special estimating software, Fax software, & Outlook.

But it matters not which software I am using, does the same thing.

Try to apply the screen saver and bring the time for the screen saver to start to 1 minute and then see if it changes.

I am puzzled. It must have a system issue.

Yes it is. Lucky I did not know this but the fact that LCD don't burn is good for me.
Perhaps IO should look up Microsoft help site, their might be something there.

I would do that or even try a system restore. and worse comes to worse a repair install of windows maybe on the cards.
