System: At91SAM9263-EK
OS: WinCE 6

Hello,

I have the following problem:

After a few minutes, the display of WinCE becomes black, exactly like a screen saver. If I move the mouse, the display comes back. It's not the backlight, because I have desactivated this one in Control Panel/Display.

Question:

Where comes this black screen and how to remove it (preferably by registry)?

Thank you

Hello,

To remove this "screen saver" you can change the value of the Activity timer in the registry to deactivate them (writing 0). Here is a sample of registry settings that you can write in your project.reg to overwrite the default value:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts]
"ACUserIdle"=dword:0 ; in seconds
"ACSystemIdle"=dword: 0 ; in seconds
"ACSuspend"=dword:0 ; in seconds
"BattUserIdle"=dword:0 ; in seconds
"BattSystemIdle"=dword:0 ; in seconds
"BattSuspend"=dword:0 ; in seconds

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]
"DisableGwesPowerOff"=dword:1

Kind Regards

Thank you, Adeneo Team,

Work perfectly well.

Hi,

I've encountered the same problem on our custom WinCE 6.0 device (based on AT91SAM9263-EK).

I added the following to the registry file (project.reg):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts]
"ACUserIdle"=dword:0 ; in seconds
"ACSystemIdle"=dword:0 ; in seconds
"ACSuspend"=dword:0 ; in seconds
"BattUserIdle"=dword:0 ; in seconds
"BattSystemIdle"=dword:0 ; in seconds
"BattSuspend"=dword:0 ; in seconds

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]
"DisableGwesPowerOff"=dword:1

Unfortunately, the blank screen still appears after 1 minute. Maybe the registry values are not set on the device?
Please advise

Please check the file reginit.ini in your release folder and see whether there is another copy of key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts] with different values

i guess,
because you did not build the whole.i got that one when i just use wince, and i change the same KEY ,but it kept same.so i built all of the project of cause including the core os, now it works well!!

Hi,

I checked the filereginit.ini and found that there is another copy of [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts] with different values. It appeared before my own settings of "0" values.

Please advise on what to do next.

I also Build the entire OS (as suggested), but it didn't work.

Hi,

You can surround the parameter with the 'comments':
; HIVE BOOT SECTION
...
; END HIVE BOOT SECTION
(don't forget the ';' char)
