IT help required!
The Massive never seems to be found wanting in this regard, so here's a desperate appeal for help. A while ago I sent the enquiry copied below to Acer; they replied saying it was a software issue (erm, thanks for that - even I could have figured that out), and referred me to their 50p per minute help line, helpfully adding that it has no queueing system. Bugger that, thought. So I turn to you - can anyone advise me?
We have an Acer Aspire 5633WLMi. If the laptop is idle for more than a few minutes, an automatic screen saver kicks in, with music (it sounds like Enya, if that helps you know what I'm talking about). It starts even if there is music playing, for example through Spotify, so is very annoying. I've looked everywhere and cannot find a way to stop this happening.

what OS are you using?
on vista if you go to desktop and right click you should be able to choose a personlize and in that menu is the screen saver menu.
It might be a seprate programme in which case you may be able to find it in the control panel/ programmes and features and try uninstalling. It could be malware try http://www.malwarebytes.org/ to remove it.
All sorted!
It was actually a schoolboy howler - the solution was in front of me the whole time, I just managed to overlook it. Feel like a fool.
Go on, tell us what it was!
Is it something we can use to play a trick on someone?
Nah, nothing tricky
I'm too embarrassed to say - I could have done it in twenty seconds, I just wasn't concentrating...
