HP Colorado will not complete backup

[Karen Miller]

Thank you re the safest backup but I am still stuck in that I cannot do a full backup. First I am having trouble disabling my screen saver -how do I do that?

Then it locks up on files such as the back-up program (Colorado HP) itself.

I am using a new tape and it has no trouble at all backing up changes only.

Thanks again.

Karen

See my comments in your other query (the one with the rabbit.)

Assuming a Windows platform, right click on the desktop, choose properties, choose screen saver - with luck you can turn things off fairly easily.

Unfortunately, you may have an aftermarket screen saver that is a little more problematic. The solution is to un-install the aftermarket screen saver, or work with the manufactuer/developer to deal with its issues. Easier said than done, I know. I have this problem on MY WIFE'S PC at home. She likes the cute little puppy dog graphics. Sigh.
