Hi

Hmm,

Wouldn't know.
What Windows version are you using?

Could it be a powersaving setting, for instance on a laptop?
Have you tried another screensaver?
If so, what happens then after 5-6 minutes?

Hi
I use desktop windows vista ultimate 32 bits
BFG 8800 GTS OC 640Mo
Power supply 750W

Earlier thanYowindow I had another screensaver and would stay. Is there any configuration in Yowindow or in Windows I have to set it so that Yowindows Screensaver stays until I come back to windows desktop.

No, in YoWindow all you can do is activate it as screensaver, no other options.
In Windows you do have the option to blank the screen as powersave setting, as I mentioned earlier.
I'm not shure though if that's an option on your desktop, since this depends on the screen I think.
As I described it is an option on my laptop.

Maybe you could check this to be certain?

I'm not familiar with Vista, but it should be somewhere under your screensaver settings.

Anyone else got any ideas?

i agrre with FvE, please check your settings.

Just for the case you are not sure how to do this, here's one way to get to the settings-window:

right-click anywhere on yuor desktop, choose "properties", choose the "screensaver"-tab and click on the button at the bottom (something similar to "energy options"; on the screenshot the buttons is labeled with "Energieverwaltung...").

A window opens and on one of the tabs you can define energy-schemas (?).
There you define (beside other things) after which duration the monitor goes blank (on the screenshot it's "Monitor ausschalten": in this case the monitor would get blank (black) after 15 minutes).

In your case there must be a value of 5 or 6 minutes entered in the textbox.
