    Hello each and every one, I presently installed Windows xp Professional as well as I noticed that on one occasion the PC is turned on as well as sitting at the welcome screen, it will persist on the way to illustrate that display as well as by no means go to a screen saver. I used on the way to have Vista as well as I keep in mind that it would finally connect the screen saver still at the same time as at the welcome screen, however as a result far on windows xp I have not observe this to occur. Does anybody be familiar with if this is by plan or else if there are several settings that are able to be changed on the way to put this up? I set up an old article regarding adjusting these settings in windows XP as well as Vista, on the other hand the registry string it references does not come into view to be in the windows 7 registry. Any assist would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    I am using Windows 7 Enterprise on my system and policy change does not anything.Regedit functions; first time I attempt it I type it accurately as exposed as well as unusually it did not function! I compared the strings on the way to my Server 2008 Standard as well as notice an r missing in ScreenSaveIsSecure, as a result I changed it on the way to ScreenSaverIsSecure as well as furthermore I used a 1 in its place of a 0.
    ScreenSaveActive :1
    ScreenSaverIsSecure : 1
    ScreenSaveTimeOut : 120
    SCRNSAVE.EXE : C:\Windows->System->Bubbles.scr
    Bubbles.scr is supposed to offer you the directx saver by means of the caution as well as scrnsave.scr will provide a blank screen
