Interactive – squared

We recently got a Samsung NC10 Netbook for my wife. It’s a big hit – but I was getting driven round the wall by the ‘music’ that kicked in 10 minutes after the lid was closed.

Googling about this turned up a similar compaint on a forum but with no-one replying with a solution.   Eventually however I stumbled across the answer – the music is part of the default screen saver (’imagine digital freedom’ – though I’d say ‘imagine you are in an elevator’ would have been more appropriate) … so is disabled by changing screen saver to any of the other options (via Properties on the desktop).

As a postscript, I tried to do the decent thing and post this Gem Of Knowledge as a response on the forum I mentioned – but it turns out that forum (Digital Spy Forums) wants £5.00 from me to register – on the basis I use a gmail account and they need to keep the bots out. That’s a shame because keenness to be a responsible netizen saw me through filling out a registration, but two pint’s worth of silver is a step too far.  Thanks goodness for blogs and search engines.
