Everytime I load a screensaver, it's now off centre on the screen,
sometimes way off the right. Happens with any screensaver I load, from
SETI@home, to the "warp speed" one. Yet in the screensaver preview in
Display Options, it is correctly centred. I've recently updated my video
card and thought this may be to do with it, but I can't find any options
in its control panel that directly affects the screensaver. My new card
is an ATI Radeon PCI 9200se 128mb DDR.
Any ideas?
Interesting.
I get this problem too, but only sometimes. My theory is that my video
card suddenly thinks there are two monitors, and therefore centers it to
the middle of the overall screen (so it's centred correctly if you
actually do have 2 monitors).
My vid card is a Hercules 3d prophet 9200 AGP 4x (ATI Radeon-based), 1.5
years older than yours.
And here I was thinking I was going mad!
In my case it mostly happens when I log off, and let the (classic) login
box go into screensaver mode.

I speculate that it's a vid card issue. Sorry I can't give you more
information.
