screensaver won't work

[Guest]

I cannot get the screensaver to work. It did before, and now for the last month it has stopped. I use the "My Picture Slideshow" and although when I go to the control panel and press preview it appears on the screen. I have the idle set for one minute, but it never comes up anymore. Anyone have any suggestions?

MORE info would be great......

In the meantime:

Is it being set to None? 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""
