Does EJukebox turn of the windows screensaver?
d003232 - 11-17-2010 at 06:58 PM

I just installed my media PC from the scratch. I'm now using windows 7 (64 bit) with EJukebox 5.46

I'm normaly using the google screensaver with showing me my pictures while the music is running. The google screensaver is choosen as normal screensaver in the windows settings.

Now under windows 7 it seems that the screensaver is not activated while EJukebox is running. Even if EJukebox is minimized, the screensaver will not start. I can't remember that behaivor at my old installation.

Is there any solution so I can see my screensaver while EJukebox is running?

please test see if this fixes the screensaver

shutdown EJukebox and replace over your existing C:EJukeboxejukebox.exe

No. Still no screensaver while EJ is running.

screensaver turns on over EJ on XP for me.
are you using EJ with winamp or internal player?
are you sure some other program is not preventing it?

I'm using the internal player. No winamp installed.

After closing EJ, the screensaver starts after 1 minute. So I strongly assume EJ is the reason.

you know what it could be...
the EJ inactivity load songlist or scroll albumlist option kicks in and it moves the mouse off screen. maybe that is preventing the screen saver from kicking in. can you disable the 2 top options on the other tab and see if the screensaver works then?

I disable both. Still no screensaver. :-(
