YoWindow Forum

Sorry, it's me again...

Have you ever experienced this?

I've set the screensaver to start automatically after a delay of 4 minutes, but after watching a web video (youtube or so) the YoWindow screensaver doesn't start anymore.
To fix this, I have to choose another screensaver (doesn't matter which one) from the according menu of the desktop properties, confirm the other screensaver, then choose YoWindow again and confirm it and then, close the desktop properties.

Could it be because both the videos and YoWindow are using the same flash plugin or player?

My system:
XP Home SP3
Flash-plugin for both FF and IE:
11.1.102.63
Default browser:
FF10.0.2 (probably, FF11 will be available later today or tomorrow. I will update to it as soon as possible)
Second browser:
IE8 (rarely used)
YoWindow:
3 Build 50

Hey, Max!
Have no idea why this bad thing happens

Friends, can anyone else repeat this problem?

Max, if after watching the video you would click "Preview" button in Display Properties window.
Will YoWindow pop up?

Hi Pavel,

at least for RC 56 on Win7 Starter, both on Firefox and IE9 watching a youtube-video, the YoWindow-screensaver pops up after the interval set as expected.
This effect sounds strange...

(my XP is "blocked" by my girlfriend at the moment )

I might be wrong, but as I remember last time, YoWindow did pop up when I clicked the preview.
I will verify this when it's happening next time.

I'm looking for a reproducable example of this issue at the moment.
Could take me a while.
I'll be back as soon as I got news.

EDIT:
Ok, this time, it wasn't a web video, but I just noticed, after watching TV using Cyberlink Home Cinema, YoWindow didn't start anymore. Then Itried clicking the screensaver preview and YoWindow did pop up. After that it even started again after the 4 minute delay (no need to choose another screensaver and to choose YoWindow again).

I'm still waiting for another starting failure related to web videos...
