My DELL Inspiron 5150 tends to get stuck on the
screensaver where it either disapears or freezes and is
then unresponsive until I reset the computer.
Any suggestions?
 
Hi Sam,

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""
