This morning I downloaded and installed a screensaver to my computer, but I decided I didn't want to use one, so I uninstalled it. Ever since I did that, my screen goes black after about 60 seconds, and locks my computer so I have to enter my user password to get back in. I can't figure out how to stop it. My power settings are set to high performance with "Never" set in both options, and my screensaver is set to "None".

Anyone able to help me stop it?

Right click any where on the desktop and select personalize .... look for a screen saver setting there. If you don't have one there or it really is turned off then search for power settings. To search for power settings just type in "Power Settings" in windows explorer...lastly, if all esle fails check your BIOS for any further power settings.

Thanks I already said my screensaver was set to none though, and I said my power setting was on high perf.
