In Windows XP and Vista, you can mute a screensaver easily:
For XP:
- Click Start, then click Settings and go to Control Panel.
- When the Control Panel window opens, double-click on the Display icon. This brings up the Display Properties window.
- Select the Screensaver tab, and select the screensaver you want to use from the drop-down menu.
For Vista:
- Click Start and go to Control Panel
- When the Control Panel window opens, double-click on the Personalization icon. This brings up the Personalization Properties window.
- Select the Screensaver tab, and select the screensaver you want to use from the drop-down menu
Next steps both for XP and Vista:
- To change the Sound option (or other settings), click Settings. Depending on the screensaver, this window can have one or more options that you can modify.
- Select a Mute option to turn off the sound of a screensaver you have selected.
- Once you have finished changing the settings, click OK.
