Screen Saver

D

Dean

(1) I have a laptop running Windows XP. The screen saver does not work as I
have it set. The preview works great!
(2) This same laptop does not go into standby/hibernate automatically even
though the power settings are currect.

Any help/suggestions? Thanks in advance

Is it the same thing back again?
Read the your Old thread from Wes and see if it is the same ehtrsy.exe or
something esle.

I have the same problem. Turns out, ehtray.exe is the culprit. It's the
part of Media Center that downloads the guide information. When it's
running, screensaver will not kick in. When I manually disable it via the
task manager, screensaver works. Haven't found a workaround that allows it
to run and my screensaver to run. Perhaps someone out there has the
solution.

You can also disable it from running in the first place in
msconfig/startup..untick ehtray

ehtray.exe is the tray bar process for the Microsoft Media
Center. It gives you easy access to the digital media manager. This is a
non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user
preference.

ehtray.exe is the Media Center Tray Applet

are you by any chance using a Microsoft Wireless mouse?--if so that is
the problem.
