    When I have Windows Media Player 10.0 running it won't let my screensaver turn on. When I am listening to music for a long period of time away from my computer I would prefer to not burn in my screen.


    I know there must be some way to disable this I just cannot seem to find it anywhere.

    Whoever knows how to disable this feature please let me know.

    Thanks

    You might try turning on system standby.

    Sharp AL27, Athlon 64 2700+ 60Gb hdd, 512Mb mem, 64Mb vid, superbright lcd. DVD +-/RW. Great choice for business use.

    There is a way to enable/disable this feature I remember seeing it. But I can't seem to find it anywhere.

    First off i assume you know how to get into the options menu, its right on the first tab that pops up (Player Tab). Third box under player settings.

    I knew I had seen it before but I kept missing it, just one of those things.
