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?
 
im having the same problems......it would help if someone would actually reply to these
 
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""
