Screen Saver

[Warren]

For no apparent reason I can't get the screen saver to
come on. I have tried changing savers etc. but nothing
seems to help. How do I get the screen saver application
to start?

Hi Warren,

Suggestions:

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""
