Right click on blank desktop>click Personalize>Click Screen Saver>from the drop down menu select the screen saver and then just below it you have the option to select Wait: select 5 minutes from here. Click on OK.

Bare with me because this problem is kind of hard to describe. for some reason my computer keeps "clicking" off my primary window. say i am typing something in a chat window, my primary window that i am typing in will go gray like i am clicking off it or something. or while playing a game, it just minimizes as if i hit the window key or something. i tried a malwarebytes scan. oh yes, it's an xp machine and the problem happens at the same time of the night usually between 10 and 11.
