- Screensaver
- Posted by Al Del Savio on February 19th, 2004
Screensaver will not come on. I have XP and have had it for about a year.
This is first time for this problem. I do get an hour glass come up as if it
wants to start.
Help.

I leave my computer on all day. I feel screensaver is beneficial. Computer
will sleep after 15 minutes. Why do ask??

From http://www.legge40.freeserve.co.uk/Monitor.htm :
"Modern SVGA CRT monitors and LCD monitors do not require the use of a
screensaver to prolong the life of the screen. A screensaver is only required
for use with pre-VGA monitors that are no longer being made. This is because
with those monitors the pixels can become stuck on one colour if the screen is
left using it constantly for too long."

I gotta say I couldn't disagree more with that statement, as I have
personally seen MANY recent SVGA CRT monitors with burn in.
