I have a Dell XPS 410, running with Windows Vista. I have found a
work-around to the problem. Someone said that if you run the screen saver on
random it doesn't work. So I changed it to fade and it does come on most of
the time. B-4 it would stay on my desktop and then go to sleep after 10
minutes. I still have a problem with the screen saver. Yesterday it took a
group of my pictures and played them as a screen saver. I hadn't changed
anything, had the screen saver set to pictures and the preview were the
pictures that came with Vist. I tried 2-3 times to stop my family pictures
playing as a slide show and the only was I could stop it was to delete them
from my hard drive. John, do you have another way I can contact you. I'd
like to ask you about the distortion my wide screen (20in) causes on
pictures. Thanks for your help. Linda
