How do I keep the screen saver from interrupting DVD movies?

Question

I am using Media Player 11 and Vista. I have the screen saver time set to 60 minutes but isn't there a setting to tell the computer that if I'm watching a DVD I don't want the screen saver to appear?

Answer 1

Open Media Player and go to Tools < Options. Once there, go to the Player Tab (should be the default one open). The settings for screen saver is there.

Answer 3

You may have to right click the title bar to open the menu...
Tools > Options > Player tab
Uncheck "Allow screen saver during playback"

Answer 4

why dont you just turn on off your screen saver completly? or set it to a much longer time then any dvd would last

Answer 5

On media players playback options there should be an option like "don't interrupt with screensaver during playback" check the box for that if you can find it.

Answer 6

i leanrend that the screensaver takes memory of the computer, it slow it down, just set it to none. go to your display properties, and display it to :none:

if u dont want a scren saver. i recomend it not. if the screensaver is on, most like-ly, it can slow the computer. it takes up memory.
thats what i learned here

Answer 7

set the time setting for longer....I'm not running vista, but there should be the option..."don't run screensaver when running full-screen applications"....?

Otherwise, go into the WMP options, and set it, so as not to allow the screensaver to run when watching videos...it's in the options in WMP

Answer 8

Change the screensaver selection to (none) which is at the top of the dropdown list.
