XP Desktop themes

[Brian]

I cannot get my desktop or screensaver to save my
settings. When i pick a desktop theme it won't even
preview. It will let me pick a screensaver but it will
not kick in and when i go back and check it says none
picked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx

Hi Brian,

See if this helps/applies:

It is being set to None. Check your setting for the screensavers path.

Here are some examples:

Marine Aquarium 2.scr > rename it to > MarineAquarium2.scr

In the registry, screensaver will work correctly if it is listed as so:
c:\windows\system32\marine~1.scr

Screen Savers do not work correctly if listed as so:
""c:\windows\system32\marine aquarium 2.scr""
