I'm using XP Pro SP2 fully updated

For some reason my screen saver has decided to have a holiday and won't
activate although all the settings appears to be correct.

Any thoughts on why this would be please?
 
Hi Joe,

You may try turning off all screensavers, re-boot and turn them back on.
That works sometimes.

Hi Joe,

One more idea--are you using a wireless mouse/keyboard? If so, this thread
may be of interest:

Thanks Curt,

As a result of your suggestions I found the solution. When I installed a
copy of Cyberlink it put PDVD into the start-up configuration so I disabled
that in msconfig/start-up and now all is back to normal.

Appreciated mate
 
Thanks for the feedback Joe. Glad to hear all is cleared up, and you're
welcome.
