I am using Windows 7 Professional. I have the screensaver time property set to 8 minutes, but the screensaver starts after only 1 minute of inactivity.
I've tried increasing/decreasing the time but with no effect. Any ideas?

I think the problem may be in your registry. Open up "regedit" and go to:
Once in the Desktop Registry folder (not in any of the sub folders) look for the value:
The value is based on time in seconds. So for 8 mins it should be 480 If it's not, set the correct value and see if that makes a difference. After you fix it I suggest cleaning the registry with a tool like Ccleaner or Glary Furthermore, if you are on a laptop be sure to check your power settings to make sure they're not conflicting with the screen saver. |
