Screen Saver and SP2

[Belle Starr]

Hi. It's me again with a minor problem. Quite some time ago I installed SP2
and was so happy with it. Everything went so smoothly, no trouble at all.
Until today. For the first time, I tried to run a screen saver and could
not get them to run. The previews runs fine, but clicking apply and ok does
nothing. I'm not sure SP2 caused this, but, it's the first thing I thought
of. Does anyone know of a setting or tweak that will correct this? My OS
is XPHome. As always, your help and comments are greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Belle

So, you selected a screen saver, like "3D FlowerBox", set the time for
10 minutes, clicked OK, and then waited just a little longer than 10
minutes without moving the mouse or hitting a key, and nothing happened?

Yes, Leythos, that is what is happening. No screen saver ever comes on.
The previews, yes. The screen saver itself, no......Thanks, Belle

Set it for one (1) minute, click Apply and OK.
Go to the bathroom or get a cup of coffee and see what happens. Just
a touch of the mouse will stop it from activating.

Tried that, Byte. No Luck. Any other suggestions?? Thanks, Belle
