Question

Is there a setting to keep my screen "lit?" It is going black before I finish reading a page and I have to move the mouse. ???

It sounds like you need a screen saver adjustment

It sounds like your screen saver is set to kick in much too quickly. Right-click an empty area of your desktop and click Personalize. Then click Screen Saver and adjust the Wait time to a larger more suitable period of time.

Good luck.
