Question

How do I extend the length of time before my pc goes to screen saver?

Answer 1

Right-click the desktop

Choose Properties

Click the Screen Saver tab

There you will see the settings on which screensaver will come up, and the Wait: number can specify how many minutes for the computer to be idle before the screensaver comes up.

Answer 2

Right click on an empty space on your desktop.

-If you're running Vista click on "Personalize" and then on "Screen Saver." A new box should pop up that lets you change the screen saver as well as the time to wait before the computer goes to it.

-If you're running XP click on "Properties." A new box should pop up with a tab for screen saver. If you click on that you should reach the same menu that lets you change settings.
