[QUOTE="soundsmith, post: 1301531, member: 216232"] [b]Check Security Preferences[/b] I was having a similar issue (I thought) and discovered that it was actually not related to the Screensaver or Energy Saver but instead had to do with the SECURITY preferences. Under System Preferences->Security You can check (or uncheck) the box that says "Log out after x minutes of inactivity." If checked, the mac will shut down apps (if it can) and then log out (after x minutes). In my case, the logout time under Security and the time to start the Screen Saver were the same time (10 minutes) so I thought the screensaver or energy saver was shutting down my apps. I hope this solution helps! [IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6170/6186064942_54d1226688.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
