screensaver not working.

has anyone else had problems with xp's screen saver just quitting. only way
I can get it to work again is to reinstall windoze. I once fixed it by
setting up the screen saver in norton than going back to the windoze one.

Is there a fix

Hi, thanks for contacting us.

Have you tried right-clicking on your blank desktop picture and scrolling
down to "properties" and clicking on it.
It should appear a small box that comes up. Once it comes up try and find
the button "screensaver" and click on it.
Once you have done that try and find how many minutes is you screensaver set
for.
for ex;
if you set it for 5 minutes, and you click ok. It will come on in five mins
from when you dont use your computer.

Thanks
Your's Sean P.

-screen saver just quitting:-

there's a program on memory forcing it or simulating user interaction.
You can inspect what program is that by running msconfig and disabling
the startup programs.. (not services)

or, if have a cordless mouse, turn it off removing battery.


-screen saver not working:

-There's an issue with multiple monitors or a configuration about this.

I had the problem using a card from ATI
If this is your case open the display configuration

go to *configuration *- *advanced*
go to *exibition *(ATI) and choose unique screen on *_scheme_ *option.

test again the screen saver.
