Windows Screen Saver keeps interupting my video playback.

ForestKlown · 2010-09-14, 04:31 AM

It seems to think the system is idle while I'm playing my video files. I've never had this issue with pvrx2, in fact it would use the GB-PVR screen saver when idle(while running the app).

Any ideas/workarounds besides turning windows screen saver off?

Thanks,
ForestKlown

look in power settings in control panel, advanced settings, there's a setting near bottom to keep from sleeping while media is playing on win7/vista..

Thanks for the reply.
It's not going to sleep, the screen saver keeps coming on.
