How do I change running time of my screen saver?

Question

Screen saver switches back to Windows Welcome screen whenever it wants to. Is there a setting I need to find in another heading to keep " Pipes " saver going until I decide to go back to using computer? Sorry if this seems stupid and basic but it's all new to me!!! Thanks!

Answer 1

simple to fix do this:
right click on any open area of your desktop
then left click on properties
then left click on the screen saver tab
set time etc to your liking also you cn change screen savers from the menu there oh and rem to click apply before you close it

Answer 2

Well, if you right-click the desktop, click Properties, click the Screen Saver tab, there should be a "On resume, password protect" option you can uncheck. Then, it will take you back to what you were doing instead of the Welcome Screen when the screen saver ends.

But the screen saver itself shouldn't end until you hit the keyboard or move the mouse. The only thing I can think of is, do you have a wireless mouse? My wireless mouse seems to cause my cursor to jump around the screen from time to time, all on its own.

Answer 3

Some screen saver have limited settings
How ever Pipes will stop running on detection of mouse / touch pad etc movement or pressed key.

for further settings right-click a clear space on you desktop click properties on the pop up menu then click the screen save tab check or uncheck password or welcome screen (don't remember quite what it says in xp ) then click settings if you want to change the settings
