When I leave my laptop open, and do not use it for awhile, the screen goes black. How can I stop it from doing this? I have it set so there is no screen saver. Would it still do this even with a screen saver?

Yeah, It sounds like it is going into standby mode or something. If you have xp you can turn that off by :
1. Right click on the despktop and go to properties.
2. go to the screen saver tab
3. at the bottom there should be a power button
You should find the settings in there for everything
Good Luck! Hope that helps - I dont have a laptop in front of me to check but I believe thats it

That must be a wise energy saver. Whats wrong with a blank screensaver? It saves battery life ,especially on laptops. You need every micro volt to keep it going.
Believe me it will keep your laptop screen prettier to look at longer. When left for long periods of time, the image it got left on burns itself into the screen and youll see it in the background.
If you absolutely hate a blank screensaver, then choose another one. Its as easy as that

Go into the Power Options in Control Panel and set it there. It says something about "Turn off monitor" choose "Never"

First, accurate click on the computer and choose homes. flow to the exhibit saver tab and be conscious even if it is wanting to expose on a "exhibit saver" after in difficulty-free words a couple of minutes of state of being inactive. if so, strengthen the time. flow to the administration Panel and click on the means ideas icon. there'll be putting that tell it to expose off the exhibit after a couple of minutes of state of being inactive. strengthen that element, or replace it to no longer turn off the exhibit. IF neither of those paintings, you're probable searching at a hardware project the position the exhibit is overheating and closing down. might want to must have a professional seem at that.
