Selecting a screen saver

You can use a screen saver to keep others from viewing your screen while you are away from 
your notebook. Windows supplies a variety of screen savers that you can choose from, and many 
more are available from the Internet and as commercial products.

To select a screen saver:

 

1

Click  

(Start), Control Panel, Appearance and Personalization, then click Change 

screen saver. The Screen Saver Settings dialog box opens.

2

Click the Screen saver list, then click the screen saver you want to use. An example of 
the screen saver plays on the preview screen.

•

To change the settings for the screen saver, click Settings, change the settings, then 
click OK.

•

To see a full-screen preview of the screen saver, click Preview.

•

To change the length of computer inactivity time that passes before the screen saver 
starts, change the number of minutes in the Wait box.

3

Click OK. Your screen saver changes are applied.

If you are using a monitor (not a flat-panel display), an image may get burned in 

on your monitor screen if you leave your notebook on for long periods of time without 
using it. You should use a screen saver which constantly changes its image to avoid this 
damage. Flat panel displays cannot be damaged with image burn-in.

For more information about selecting a screen saver, click Start, then click 

Help and Support. Type
