Screen saver mode at work
Hi,
At work, the PC Windows 7 goes to screen saver mode after 10 minutes. I don't have access to change that. It's grayed out for me. After 10 minutes, the IM will say " AWAY" and my email status will say " AWAY ". Email and IM both are from Microsoft.
My question is there any work around such as some software which will not enable the screensaver.
Thanks
