hapecat® Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 My screensaver doesn't start, so I checked the Desktop properties, only to find the "Wait" time set to "0" minutes and it is grayed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 This is common under situations where Group Policy or some other software limitation is enabled on a machine. If you change the screensaver to say, Marquee or My Pictures Slideshow, does this also happen? This can also happen if you incorrectly attempt to modify the registry regarding the screensaver. I did this to a machine when I tried to write a program that changed screensavers every 4 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hapecat® Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 If you change the screensaver to say, Marquee or My Pictures Slideshow, does this also happen?Yes, I could change the screensaver to anything I wanted to with the same result....But, I found out what caused the wait time to be grayed out. It was a small tweaking program from Fresh Devices called Fresh UI.I stumbled upon it, quite by accident but, it was the culprit. It takes control of that part of the screensaver and the wait time has to be modified through Fresh UI.Thanks for your time and input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
