Having downloaded the latest patch for Windows XP, I now
discover that the screensaver does not start. It would
appear that Microsoft are aware of a problem, which was
first fixed in Windows XP SP1. My windows setup is
currently right up to date with all available critical
updates and patches.I also run a nice piece of software
called Spyhunter which has its own Popup Blocker,would
this have any affect on the screensaver? Even when I
disable the popup blocker, the screensaver still fails to
start.Other than waiting once more for Microsoft to
address the problem, has anyone had similar problems or
solutions.
 
Hi

Which Update was it that you last installed?
