Plus! 98: Display Problems When You Use the Organic Art or Science Fiction Screen Savers
This article was previously published under Q206590
When you use the Organic Art or Science Fiction screen savers included in
Microsoft Plus! 98, you may experience any of the following symptoms:
- Your computer may stop responding (hang) or the screen may turn
black when the screen saver starts.
- Full power may not be restored to your monitor when you interrupt the
screen saver with a keyboard or pointing device action.
- Your display settings may change when you interrupt the screen saver
with a keyboard or pointing device action.
- You may see multiple blurred images on the screen when you interrupt
the screen saver with a keyboard or pointing device action.
In addition, you may receive the following error message:
Couldn't find any scene definitions in location "." - Reinstall?
This behavior can occur if the Advanced Power Management (APM) feature
of your computer turns off the monitor at the same time the screen saver
starts.
To resolve this issue, configure the screen saver to start before the
APM feature of your computer turns off the monitor. To do this, follow
these steps:
- Set the interval after which you want the screen saver to start.
To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
- Double-click Display.
- Click the Screen Saver tab.
- In the Wait <n> minutes box, click
the up or down arrows to select the number of minutes you want
to wait for the screen saver to start.
- Click OK.
- Set the interval after which you want the APM feature of
your computer to turn off the monitor. To do this, follow these
steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click Power Management.
- Click the Power Schemes tab.
- In the Turn Off Monitor box, click the interval of
time after which you want the APM feature of your computer
to turn off the monitor.
NOTE: The interval of time you click must be greater than the
number of minutes you want to wait for the screen saver to start.
- Click OK, and then close Control Panel.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Plus! 98, version 1.0.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Plus! 98 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
