My Screen saver only works when I set it for 1 min. What is wrong?

Question

I think some program may be running in background, accessing my hard drive. I dont know how to find out what it is or how to fix it.

Answer 1

You can start by bringing up Task Manager and watching the Performance Tab to see if your processor is being used. If so, then do a complete virus scan, and also use a good spy ware program and scan for any spyware. If you find nothing this way, you can set it for say 3 minutes to shorten the wait time and start stopping running processes until you find one that lets it work. I have mine set for 30 minutes as I set my monitor and computerto power down before that.
