Hi dear readers,

Zorin OS 9 is succesfully installed alongside Windows Vista thanks to Gizmuntu.
But now i have a new problem
When i look at video's in youtube the screensaver activate in 10 seconds, so i have to move the mouse to see more of the video, when i stop moving the mouse after 10 seconds the screensaver activate again.

What can i do to prevent that behavior?

Hi dear Swarfendor437,

Welcome back after your vacation :P and thanks for your reply. ;)
No i don't use the xscreensaver, it happen by the build-in screensaver from Zorin OS :o

Hi Swarfendor437,

Because it is difficult to translate the names, i made a screenshot of it:

The screensaver should start after 5 min. and not asking for the password that state off

Hi Swarfendor437,

First i set the settings to never and turned off the password.
And this works fine, i just sit down and look to a 15 minutes video about World of Warcraft without any problems. :P

So the second answer you give about your rethinking is no longer needed. ;)

Thank you so much. :P
