How to Turn Off your Screensaver

Question:
"HOW DO YOU TURN OFF YOUR SCREEN SAVER? Sure would like an answer to this question, if possible. Thanks!"

Answer:

The answer to your question can be found in your <Display Properties>.

Use your right mouse button and single-click in an open area on your desktop. You’ll get a little pop-up menu. At the bottom of this menu is an option called <Properties>. Single-click on this option.

The <Display Properties> window opens. At the top of the screen is a row of tabs. Single-click on the one marked <Screen Saver>. Single-click on this tab and you’ll access your screensaver settings.

Halfway down this screen you’ll see a box with the name of your screensaver in it. Single-click the arrow next to the right of this box and you’ll open a pull-down window that lists all your possible screensavers. Scroll up to the very top of this menu and you’ll find an option called <None>. Single-click this option.

Now that you’ve selected <None>, you’ll have to save your changes. Single-click the <Apply> button at the bottom of the screen, and then single-click on <OK>. You’ve now disabled your screensaver.
