Windows 7 screen saver

Can you use photos edited and rated in LR4 as screen saver photos in Windows 7? I notice when using Windows Live Photo Gallery as my screen saver, the unedited photos are utilized.

Thanks for your response. I have exported them in the past, but of course that makes new files, taking up hard drive space. I was hoping for a way to directly use LR4-edited photos as screen saver photos without duplicating them.

Windows Screen Saver and Monitor Status

How do I communicate to windows to find the Windows screen saver status and the monitor status?

I don't know the particular API calls you need for that, but here's the general way to access Windows innards:
Use the CALL LIBRARY function, and point it to ADVAPI32.dll.
This particular call is set up to call "GetUserNameA", returning the logged-in user's name.
If there's an API for what you need, then configure this function to go call it.

Server Intermittently refuses to display local login window - screen saver

Occasionally the local login window refuses to appear after the screen saver has been activated on my 10.5.8 Server, resulting in my inability to access the interface at all afterwards. Other symptoms of the problem are that remote logins (ssh) are also no longer possible because passwords aren't accepted for any user. The password prompt is simply displayed repeatedly in the remote user's terminal until the tries are used up, and this happens whether or not the password was entered correctly. In other words remote login is no longer possible because no password is accepted. Because of this, the computer must be forcibly restarted to achieve recovery, which has to be done locally, of course, by either holding in the power button or disconnecting power to the computer. The log entries that seem to coincide with the occurrence of the problem appear to refer to a screen saver crash. The next workaround solution I intend to try is to prevent screen saver activation altogether. What are possible causes for this? Thanks.

Removing the following two files and reinstalling the latest server combo update were recommended by the article to which you referred.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect.plist
I performed those steps and am still observing in order to establish whether or not they have provided a complete remedy. I haven't observed any occurrences of the problem since performing these steps, but the problem is quite intermittent, and the server remains configured to restart once every 24 hours. My next step is to remove the scheduled restart configuration so that the server runs continually. If the problem hasn't returned at all after a few weeks of continuous operation, then I'll consider the question answered. Thanks!

Screen Saver crashing my Java Web Start app

I've written a Java Web Start time tracker application that all employees run from the time they start work until they leave at the end of the day. The only problem is that there are a couple of people who from time to time find that the application has crashed when they unlock their Windows screen saver. The application window continues to show the screen saver image and the title bar says "Not Responding". In an attempt to get some clues, I had one person keep the java console running - but nothing new appears in the console.
I've personally tried crashing the app by using screen savers, but I cannot duplicate the problem. I've also tried letting my computer go into standby mode and I've let it hibernate. But every time, the application continues running as soon as I log back in.
Any ideas as to why the screen saver could trigger a problem like this for some users?

- Windows standard savers (the savers supplied with the OS, if so, do they all use Open-GL or all use...?)
- Windows compatible, 3rd party savers.
- Saverbeans screensavers (Java based). E.G. <https://screensavers.dev.java.net/>

Cannot resume, when Screen Saver is active, using TrackPoint or TouchPad

I cannot resume from Screen Saver, neither using TrackPoint, TouchPad, any UltraNav Buttons as well as an external BT mouse.
The one and only way is using the Ctrl+Alt+Del, to resume.
How can I solve that issue?

Hello,
may be it´s a problem with BOINC, if the problem won´t occur with windows screen saver.
May be there is an option in BOINC preferences or somewhat, that can switched on, to end
sreensaver, when using your mouse and perhaps other users of BOINC have got this problem too.

HELP WITH SCREEN-SAVER FILE CONVERSION

Hello;
I have a family member (sister) who does web design and animation on her mac, but she has had a hard time finding a program or utility that would allow her to convert a mac screen saver to a windows screen saver.
She is familiar with the "iScreensaver" program, but that is very expensive, and she was hoping there might be a more basic mac utility to get the job done.
Does anyone here know of a reasonably priced mac program or utility that would allow conversion of a screen saver from mac to windows format? Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Damon
Ps.
She is on an eMac 800 chip machine, running Tiger.

Think my sis was looking for a program that would not expire. But thanks.

Notification when screen saver goes active

My program needs to know when the Windows screen saver becomes active. Is there some way to catch an OS event that indicates that the screen saver has become active?
Tony G.

Reading here, I think you can use InstallWinMsgCallback() to get the WM_SYSCOMMAND message with WParam == SC_SCREENSAVER when the scrrensaver starts.
In the page I linked there's an explanation on how to detect if screensaver is still running.

Photos Screen saver problems in Windows 7

Photos screen saver crashes most of the time when I move the mouse to exit.
Round circle, this application is not responding etc.
This is pc upgraded from Vista

Hi sven253,
Is there any third party screen saver software installed? If so, please uninstall it and see if the issue occurs.
As Magon mentioned, Clean Boot is a good method to check if the issue is related to third party software and services. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, we can use a 50/50 approach to quickly narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Also, please test the Sample Pictures came with Windows 7 and see if the issue exists:
1.     Right click on the Desktop and then click Personalize.
2.     Click Screen Saver.
3.     Select Photos and then click Settings…
4.     Browse the folder to C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures
5.     Click Save.
6.     Click OK.
What is the result? If the issue persists, please test if the issue occurs using other screen saver, such as 3D Text or Bubbles. However, if the issue does not occur using Sample Pictures, could you please provide the following information for further research?
·          What is the file types you are using? Are they .jpg file or .bmp files?
·          What are the file size of each photo?
·          How many files are there in photo folder?
·          When did the issue first occur? Did it occur after installing certain software or changing some hardware?
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Linda

Screen goes black when coming out of screen saver. HP Pavilion,p7-1414 desktop, windows 8

the monitor shows the windows 8 screen with the apps, then the screen saver will come on. Then when I try to bring it out of the screen saver mode the screen goes black and nothing I do will get it to go back to the windows 8 screen. Then the mouse pointer will disappear. So I end up having to shut down the computer using the power button. If I have the screen set up for the old style windows 7 and it goes into the screen saver and I bring it back there's no problem.
fleamarketlady

Hello fleamarketlady,
Your computer goes black when it comes out of sleep mode some times.
Make sure that you are only using one cable to connect the monitor to the computer.
Open up command prompt and run the following command SFC /scannow.
This will scan the system files and correct any errors that it can.
Here is a link to command prompt.
When you go to open command prompt, right click and run as administrator.
If you are still having the problem you can perform a system refresh.
This will uninstall windows 8 and reinstall it without affecting your personal information.
Here is a link that will walk you through the steps for a refresh.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Hi boadiceaa,
Is the machine in a domain environment ?How did you configure the screensaver ?
Usually we can configure it here .
Right click the blank desktop ,choose personalize ,screensaver.
There is a registry key we can configure the timeout of the screensaver .
HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\ScreenSaveTimeout
If it is a domain environment ,please check whether the screensaver group policy has been configured.
We can run "rsop " to have a check .
We also can try to configure it from the group policy
Screen Saver timeout
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961876.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
If the issue persists, we can try to login with another account and configure it to have a check .This will help us to narrow down whether this issue is caused by the specific account .
Best regards
im not exactly sure what you mean by domain but its for my home network, just simple SOHO. ive tried using another user account to change it but it doesnt matter what it only goes to 15 mins max time.
youd suggest i look into the registry for starters or?
thanks again for the reply

Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver? The same images look fine in Preview and Finder. Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver? The same images look fine in Preview and Finder. Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos. However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled. What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

WINDOWS 8 SCREEN SAVER NOT TURNING ON

I have a TouchSmart with Windows 8 and the screen saver will not turn on. Will work in preview but will not function. Have tried all available screen savers and applied all with no luck. Any ideas out there?

It was a long shot --
It does seem that if you want to splay a picture on the screen after a certain time, then you should be able to do so.
It might be the same as letting the screen "rest" in darkness, saving the screen, making the world a better place, all of that:
The computer should work the way you expect when the feature is offered to work a certain way.
Just some ideas...
All the settings for your "Screen Saver" should be set to just less than any "dimming" or "display off" settings
Have you tried setting the Screen Saver to "None" and seeing if the screen can at least go to "dark" after the set time? That would be something - it would tell you that the mechanism is working.
Related to Above:
Try setting Background to None, set the time to say a minute less than the time you let the display dim/go-off, Reboot the computer to make sure the setting is "in place", and then test.
Have you tried using one of your own pictures? If you do not have one, try downloading a picture from a location you trust - say from NASA if you are interested in "Things that are Star-Stuff"
The issue may be related to screen resolution vs. the resolution of the photo or "saver" you are trying to use. There may be some sort of conflict. This goes back to choosing either a different screen resolution or a different photo.
Do you have an extra monitor attached? There may be a resolution conflict with the extra monitor if you have "extended view" set and the two resolutions are not compatible in some bizarre fashion. Even if there is no conflict; if you do have an extra monitor attached, try turning if off and see if it makes a difference.

How to Change the Screen Saver Settings to Mystify in Windows 7 using vbscript?

HI All,
How to Change the Screen Saver Settings to Mystify in Windows 7 using vbscript?

First: What is a GPO?
Second: jrv, that was not too helpful in general. someone should do some actual code.
Bob Blork - Mark as answer if it helped!
This is a forum for technicians and not for home users. GPO is what technical people use to manage Windows. THe script to do this is in the link I posted - how is that not helpful?
I know this is all over your head. I am curious as to why you would respond in a technical forum to a question you do not understand.
We do not provide free scripts. We also will point users at correct answers.
This is not a forum for homw users or for simple support questions. It is also a thread that has been answered for a long time. Perhaps you should start a new thread if you have an actual question about scripting.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Vista screen saver different on store Windows machine?

I was in Costco and playing with an HP Windows machine with Vista.
The bubbles screen saver shows bubbles on a black background.
My Vista in Boot Camp has bubbles over the existing screen. Why?
How do I get a black background?
Also all the windows quickly fade when closed or opened. Mine just open and close ... No fade. How do I get the fade?
Thanks for looking ... Ken

It isn't like you need to use command console and REGEDIT.
Uninstalling graphics, and installing new drivers, boosted the score on my Nvidia 3DMark06 by 2000 pts. I hope you followed the other control panel settings.
I can think of lots of things that fall under the "maintenance" category in OS X that are necessary and harder to communicate. you know how to boot in Safe Mode, you can download a program, and you have no trouble using the control panel Programs to uninstall.
All I want is to see someone learn to get better use and enjoy using their system more fully.
*Drive Sweeper*
Guru3D - Driver Sweeper is a fast tool to remove driver leftovers from your system. It's very important to remove your drivers on a proper way, because driver leftovers can cause problems like stability and startup problems. You can use it if you want to update/remove drivers from your system.
There are two methods to use Driver Sweeper.
Both methods achieve the same results.
This method is always able to clean all files.
This method will delete remaining files upon reboot (if deleting failed).
You can clean your drivers this way:
* Use the official uninstaller(s) of the driver(s) you want to uninstall.
* Reboot your PC in Safe Mode.
* Run Driver Sweeper and select what to clean.
* Analyse lists all the entries possible to remove, cleaning removes the entries selected.
* More drivers can be selected for the same cleaning process.
*What can it be used for*
The current supported drivers are NVIDIA (Display and Chipset), ATI (Display), Creative (Sound) Realtek (Sound), Ageia (PhysX) and Microsoft (Mouse).
All the settings are saved in an ini file. Nothing is created in the registry, so it's possible to use it as a portable program. Log files can be saved to the harddisk and viewed as well. You can find the logs under the Tools menu.
Driver Sweeper support/discussion forums can be found here.
