| 390188 | 2005-09-22 13:21:00 | Screensavers saved the old CRTs from burning out but I think this is a long time past. (Technology factor) Unless you've got an ancient comp ( older than 10 yrs) I wouldn't worry about it, Besides, dude, no cool comp user uses screensavers these days. UNles they][ve got 3D latte Providers, |

Verify that the ScreenSaver has been placed in the C:\WINDOWS\System32 (file:///C:/WINDOWS/System32) Folder. Make sure that the screensaver starts with " ss " e.g.. if the screensaver name is " pictures " rename it to " sspictures".' Other sites suggest a conflict with USB wireless mice... You could even try scanning your computer for spyware etc |
