[solved] TC 8.51 blocking execution of screensaver

Post by *eumovate »

Since TC 8.51, screensaver is not executed when TC is on the foreground.
Not important matter, but I just want to know the reason.
Thanks.

Win XP SP3

Strange, I will check it. Maybe it's because TC reacts to SC_SCREENSAVE to clear the stored passwords.

I can confirm it. Even the latest official version 8.51a prohibits automatic execution of screensaver in Windows XP SP3 (other Windows version not tested).
I had to downgrade to v.7.

I can confirm this under Windows XP too with TC 8.51a, but not under Windows 7 or Windows 8.1

28.09.14 Fixed: TC 32-bit was preventing screen saver from starting (32)
Confirmed fixed in TC 8.52b1 32bit under Windows XP :-)
