The screen saver does not work on XP MCE (Media Center Edition)

<quote>
[[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 sounds like the Canadian version of systray.exe to me. ;-) Eh?

[[ehtray.exe is a process 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. ]]
