| 771206 | 2009-05-05 03:50:00 | Is there a way to AUTOMATICALLY turn off screensavers each time I watch a movie, like Netflix or in my DVD drive? Rather than manually turning the screensaver off each time, then turning it back on again after the movie? | AngieM (14883) | ||
| 771207 | 2009-05-05 04:02:00 | Welcome to PF1. :) The screensaver ought to automatically not come on whenever a fullscreen app is running. What OS are you running, and what software are you using to play the DVD? |

| 771208 | 2009-05-05 04:04:00 | Well no, some screensavers have Settings where you can select it not to activate while full scree apps are running but your bog standard Windows ones don't. Just don't run one at all, they hog resources and aren't needed these days anyway. |

| 771209 | 2009-05-05 04:54:00 | some players have an option to disable the screensaver themselves. WMP does and I know I've seen it in some others | dugimodo (138) | ||

| 771211 | 2009-05-05 08:12:00 | Is this on the Xbox?? Go to the settings and disable the screensaver. Netflix is also on this. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 771212 | 2009-05-06 09:29:00 | Hi Angie. If you are using Media Player 11, this permits the screen saver to activate if for some wierd reason that option has been selected or ticked. Try clicking the arrow by Now Playing and choose More Options. Look for an option "Allow Screen Saver during Playback" and if it has been selected, deselect it. |
