Desktop Themes

[Joan]

I am trying to set a desktop theme (nature, to be exact).
I have set it many, many times, each time to have it
default after a few minutes/hours to a black background.
When I go back in and reset it, the nature theme takes,
but again after time, reverts to black. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Joan,

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