Turn your screen saver on or off

A screen saver is a moving picture or pattern that appears on your computer screen when you haven't used the mouse or keyboard for a specified period of time. Screen savers were originally used to save older, monochromatic monitors from damage, but now they are mainly a way to personalize your computer or enhance its security by offering password protection.

1. Open Screen Saver Settings by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, clicking Personalization, and then clicking Screen Saver.
2. To turn off all screen savers, under Screen Saver, click (None) in the drop-down list, and then click OK.
