I cannot disable screen saver in a virtual machine.

Hi,

I recently installed a Windows XP version in a virtual machine, but am
unable to disable the screen saver. Both the drop down for the choices of
screen savers as well as the Wait and On resume, password protect are all
grayed out. Is there a way to enable these selections?

Thanks,
Louis

There is nothing in Virtual PC that should cause this behavior. Most
likely you have joined the virtual machine to a domain which has group
policies that lock this out.
