Screensaver doesn't start

[ePva]

Hi all,

I have troubles with the screensaver. It doesn't start automatically after
the configured timeout. However if i go in the screensaver tab of display
properties, i'm able to test it.
By the way, the screen power saving doesn't start too.

Has anybody had the same problem? How did you solve it?

Thx

Hi,

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""
