Screen Saver just stops!

[Guest]

My problem seems to be different from the screen saver issues other people
have been having.

My computer will kick on the screen saver but after about two minutes, the
screen saver just stops and the desktop (or whatever had previously been on
the screen) just re-appears.

I am not touching anything to kick the screen saver off. It comes on, seems
to run a "cycle" and then just stops. Any ideas?

When what you describe happen it's usually not the screensaver who is
at fault. It's some program running, probably in your system tray,
triggering the screensaver to think the computer is in use again. The
first thing I would try is to disable programs running in your system
tray one by one until you find the one affecting your screensaver. Then
you would have to decide which one is more important: The program or
the screensaver.
