Default Windows XP Screen Saver problem

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Wind ows\Control Panel\Desktop

Look in the right pane for a value called ScreenSaveTimeout. If found,
right click this value and delete it.

If it isn't found there, and you're running XP Pro, go to Start, Run and
enter GPEDIT.MSC and go to User Configuration, Administrative Templates,
Control Panel, Display. Locate the Screen Saver Timeout entry in the right
pane. Double click it and set it to Not Configured.

Note: GPEDIT.MSC does not exist in XP Home, and there is not an equivalent
program.
