I downloaded a theme from microsoft.com (Christmas Theme 2004) and it has
animations in the screensaver. When the screensaver comes on and the
animations start to play XP thinks someone has moved the mouse or typed a key
on the keyboard and the screensaver stops and control is turned back to the
desktop. I got the theme from microsoft.com so there must be some way to
make it work?

Sorry. Don't have an answer for your MS screensaver problem. But if you
think everything should work merely because it's from Microsoft, then I have
a bridge in Brooklyn I'll sell you cheap. No company is perfect...not even
Microsoft. While I'm breaking your heart, I might as well go for the jugular:
Santa Claus isn't a real person. (Smile.)

Seriously, I'd try to help but I'm loathe to put screensavers and themes on my
PC. One doesn't know where they've been and what kind of spyware/virus
germs they've picked up along the way.

Something is running in the background which the system detects and
deactivates the screen saver.

Do some clean boot troubleshooting to find out what it is:
