1) Text on my Desktop came up after a reboot saying "Test Mode"
Test Mode Showed up.PNG

My Windows is Activated according to settings. Is there any way to make it disappear or should I not worry about it?


2) I've tried many times to get the Screen Saver to show up while I'm not using my PC. I do Have it enabled but it still won't show up. Is there something I didn't do to make it work? Can you guys help me w/ these please?
 
1.) In Command Prompt type:

Code: 
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
and reboot.

2.) Did you make sure everything is correct and the Power Settings are set to screensaver rather than Turn Display off?

The wording is gone, thanks.

How do I go checking to see if my power settings are set to Screen Saver?
 
Sorry Eddie I've been busy with work.

Do you by any chance have any other devices attached to the computer, like a wireless mouse? Ensure that no devices are set to wake the computer.
 
Try turning off your wireless mouse. Set the screensaver to set for 1 minute, and turn off the mouse and wait and see if it fixes it. The mouse might be sending random signals to the computer preventing it from sleeping properly

I tried turning off my mouse & no Screen saver came up after 1 minute.
 
Go to Command Prompt and type these commands in one at a time:

Code: 
powercfg /lastwake
powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

and tell us what it outputs.

A while ago I reinstalled the OS & somehow the screen savers work. I'm currently using the Mystery Screensaver from Windows 98. >
