Reconfigure
To deactivate the screen saver, or to change the default Start time (3 min.):

• Open the Desktop & Screen Saver Control Panel in your System Preferences.
• Navigate to the name of the screen saver you would like to change to.
• Adjust your Start time as needed (e.g., from the defalt 3 min. to 5 min.)
• If your monitor has a very large resolution (1280x1024 or above) and you find the images overly stretched or pixelated, you may click on Options and choose Normal to have images displayed at 100% without being stretched. This may create a black box surrounding the screen saver but the images will look better.
