Air Force Jayhawk

My screen saver never comes on. It is set to, but over night the
desktop is still showing.

Any hints where to look?

Hi,

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

No, it is not set to none. An XP installed screen saver is selected
to 1 minute. Nothing ever happens...all night.

I have made no changes to any of the names so they should work fine.
