Thread: Screensaver speed

The screensaver on my computer starts after a very short delay.

As I have to enter a password to return to what I was doing, this is very annoying and I would like to extend this delay. I am using Windows Vista.

Right-click on the Desktop and select Personalize. Left -click on the Screensaver title. Click in the box labelled Wait and enter the number of minutes you want the computer to wait before turning on the screensaver.

Click on OK to save the changes and close the window.

Making the change in Windows XP is very similar. Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties. Click on the Screen Saver tab and change the number of minutes as for Vista.
