Title: Problem Vending
Post by: Roon on May 11, 2009, 06:59:54 pm

If I leave my computer so that my merch can vend stuff for me, and my computer goes to its screen saver, when I get back to it, the game's screen is blank. The frame will come up, but the inside will show nothing. The music still goes on, and my spot's not taken, which has me thinking that its not frozen..

but I cant do anything else with it, cause I cant see anything. I cant not have a screen saver for obvious reasons, but is there something I can change that might stop this blank-screen thing from happening?

Is it happening to anyone else?

Thanks in advance for any answers!

The Blank Screen thing is the Power Saving Mode for the Monitor

Control Panel
Power Options

Turn off Monitor - Never
Turn off Hard Drive - Never

System Standby - Never
System Hibernate - Never

---

And you are done~

the thing is that its the screen saver that makes aRO get a black screen - computer's not hibernating or anything, just screen saving

edit; nevermind, that actually might be the reason. I had to go to advanced settings to find it, but my 'turn off hard drive' was set to 20 minutes, so I guess I'll find out if that worked soon enough. Thanks! <3
