LCD-Svr
v.2.1
Let's be honest - most screen savers are really screen burners. They do not
provide protection for your monitor. Even if you use supplied by Windows
"Blank" screen saver - it does not switch off your monitor at all, it only
makes it black.
LCD-Svr is a real screen saver that helps to save LCD monitor by switching
it off at any desired time. LCD-Saver works with CRT monitors as well.
LCD-Svr may be used as a common screen saver and/or can be started by user
manually. Whenever you want you may press hot key combination and screen will
be turned off in a second. Of cause LCD-Svr may be used in both modes at
the same time.
To switch LCD back on just make any user input - move mouse, press a mouse
button, or just press a key on keyboard.
To run it in first mode (as a common screen saver) use followed steps:
1. Open "Display Properties" dialog box (right click on desktop and choose
"Properties").
2. Click on "Screen Saver" tab.
3. Choose "LCD-Saver" screen saver and press "OK" button.
This method allows to specify "Wait" time in minutes and/or set an action
"On resume, display Welcome screen".
Installer will create shortcut on desktop and automatically assigning to it
hot key "Ctrl+Alt+S". By some reason you may choose do not create shortcut at
installation time. Then later you may do it by running installation script
again or do it manually. Here are four simple steps that you may to do to run
the screen saver manually (by clicking on shortcut or applying a hot key).
1. Find "LCD-Svr.scr" file in "C:\WINDOWS\System32" folder.
2. On your desktop create a shortcut to the "LCD-Svr.scr" file.
3. Open shortcut "Properties" box and create a "Shortcut key" (for example -
use "Ctrl+Alt+S" key combination.)
4. Press OK to save settings.
