I am running windows 7 and the screen saver only activates about half the time. When I used windows xp it always worked ok. Is there a fix for this

Hey, Raybudzy and welcome!

Unfortunately I have no access to Windows 7 computer.
Becasuse of this I cannot repeat the problem.
I hope as soon as I have Windows 7 installed I will take care of this case.

Any clue you may give me is valueable.
I have added this problem to our task list.

Thank you for reporting!

I have been told YoWindow screensaver is hanging occasionally on W7.
Have you experienced this problem so far?

I have not had the problem with the screen saver hanging, just the fact that it will not start.
I did notice that if I make any changes to the power setting, IE when the monitor shuts down
that the program will work once after this change.

Thank you.
Have you noticed this problem with any other screensaver?

And I will also say something here when it pass in windoows 7

With me running yowindow generally unstable
it is longer lasting until we see what the program window
went for the better in vista xp that works too fast
sometimes even the window flashes but only when it displays on the browser
in the desktop everything is ok but the start takes 1 minute minimum

Marcus, I didn't understand.
Can you describe the problem again?

hi pavel

when I start yowindow windoows under 7, it sometimes takes two minutes until I see what
as long as the window remains black

windoows in vista I have after 10 seconds the picture,So the display

In XP, it takes just as long as vista

When I use the window of yo on the mozilla browser window open
flashes
So as a flashing traffic light,as a comparative

of the window when I yowindow open on the desktop I have the problem not

2 Minutes!!!??

This is way too long.

Please send me all the files in the following folder, I need to investigate the problem.
Is YoWindow on the Windows 7 Unlimited or Free?

C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\YoWindow

Marcus, give me the link to the page that flashes in Mozilla!

As already noted, the current version of YoWindow 2.0, Build 294, Unlimited edition...screen saver fails to start in Windows 7. The screen blinks as though it is trying to initialize, but never goes beyond black and empty. None of the background apps are affected, and the normal screen returns if the mouse is moved, or a keyboard button is pushed. So far I haven't found any tweaks to Windows 7 that work to resolve the problem.
