- Check your Display Properties
Right click an empty spot on your desktop
Click on the SCREEN SAVER tab
Select (none)
click APPLY

]you may be a victim of software counterfeiting, this copy of windows did not pass the genuine windows validation

This statement may be TRUE.

Hi bkdc

Thought I had solved the desk top problem but no so....seems when I leave the pc for a whilw (Even when I turn it on) it still has a black screen it is not the screensaver as this is
in the NONE position. My dsk top icons are there but my picture background colour have gone...could it be the memory??
Please help
Diana

Try clicking the 'Power' button in 'Monitor Power,' and select all three to 'never.'

Hello Danthespan.

Right-click on the desk-top (Anywhere)
Select 'Properties'
Select 'Screen Saver'
On that page there should be a 'Monitor Power' setting, and below to the right-hand side a 'Power' button.
Click on it and set all Three items i.e., 'Monitor,' 'HDs' and 'Standby System' to 'Never.'
Select OK
I hope this will help you.

regards

I would agree with grimerz except for the fact that you icons are still there.

I'm thinking that either a mem problem or video card and/or drivers.
Are you running any third party wallpaper rotator ?

Hi
Still have this problem !! no there is no rotating of anyhting..if it is the memory...how do i sort that out...hoping you can save me a fortune.
many Thanks
