Implement automatic screen locking prior to sleep
Authored by: Anonymous on Aug 13, '03 06:38:37AM

For some reason, when I set my screen saver to activate after a predetermined period of time, the screen saver does not activate. I have tried everything from running Jaguar Cache Cleaner and Cocktail, as well as disabling my login items. Sometimes the screen saver works and sometimes not. What gives?

What exactly controls when the Screen Saver activates? Is there a file somewhere that I can tweak? Or is there a file or files that need to be trashed. I trashed the Screen saver pref files to no avail. I'm at the end of my rope on this one.

What does work is the ability to manually activate the screen saver by going to a sleep corner. My problem is that if I leave my Mac for a few minutes, I would expect when I come back, to have the screen saver on, without me manually having to activate it. Look forward to hearing back from someone soon. Thanks for all of your help!!!
