How-To Geek

Ive wanted to watch movies online and tv shows and such and the screen saver keeps popping up i tried the one how to on here and the one like to download flipss.exe file said it wasnt there and just took me to a search page is there anyway to get my screen saver disabled other than that way? I have a dell computer so i dont know if thats the problem or if something else is. thank you for your time.

i watch them on sites like hulu.com and tudou.com

no its online no media player is needed it stays within the browser.

I don't use a screen saver, but power management instead. My screen just goes black, but the audio keeps playing! I've gotten used to just jiggling the mouse every now and then, just like The Geek mentions in the article:

If you set everything (Display and Sleep) to "Never" in the Power Options, you should not run into this problem.

Hmm, I thought it does. You never stop learning.

@Lighthouse, I mentioned power management above to put my display to sleep. That happens when watching a long video and the answer that WHS gave would prevent the screen from blanking.

@whs, you're not crazy or senile. (Lighthouse might be, but don't tell him I said so. Shhh!) :-D

@ScottW, You are too kind. I don't observe any signs of "senile". But the short time memory is no more what it used to be 25 years ago. If my bones would work as well as my brain, things would be nearly perfect.
@Lighthouse, as I said: I set the power management to "never" and the screen saver timing to 60 minutes and have never encountered the problem that was stated by the poster. But maybe it is a different case.
