    As it says in title, I can not get the screen saver to not turn on while watching video in Windows Media Player.

    I have already went to Tools-Options-Player and made sure the "Allow screen saver during playback" was unchecked and it is.

    But the dang thing keeps turning on. Any other fixes?

    And this is on the computer in my sig. Thanks.

    Yes, that would work, but why does it come on when it should not? I guess I will use that trick as a last resort, but manually turning off the screen saver every time is going to get old.
