Screensaver not working

Post by 2BadRic »

When Yo comes on as my screen saver, all I get is a black screen ....a small blue "YoWindow" logo above a small green horizontal line, and below the line it says:" presented in Stereo"...
How do I fix?
Thanks,

Hi Rich,

Could it be that your screensaver can't access the internet, because it's being blocked by your frewall and/or anti-virus program?

Check your network adaptor's power management in its properties...

Make sure the option "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' is unchecked...

Hope this helps...Do let us know...

Hi Rich,

Up 'till now it looks that way, I'm sorry to say.

I'm still figuring out what it's got to do with Google.
I'm not sure what you do and what you don't use of YoWindow.
Are you using the Google extension to look at YoWindow and using the screensaver on it's own to 'save your screen'?

Thank you,
Fred
