    Sorry I meant Screen Saver, but I cant change the title.

    I have XP Service Pack 2 on my IBM x30. I noticed a few days ago the screen saver would not turn on after 5 mins (what I set it at). I know it did it before.

    Then when the x30 was plugged in, the screen saver came on. I thought okay maybe it was a 1 time thing. Well after many tests, the screen saveronly comes on when the power supply is plugged in.

    Anyone ever deal w/ this??

    Mine doesn't come on either when I'm on battery. I have xp too. You can probably change it in your power settings. I've just never bothered.
