Windows XP Screensaver problem

[History Fan]

Has anyone here installed this free screensaver from Microsoft?

The screensaver works okay on my XP SP2 desktop computer except for
one problem: sometimes it doesn't come on when it's supposed to. I don't
have this problem with any other screensaver. For the record, my computer
has the latest video driver installed.

A screen saver coming on, or not, is highly dependent upon what the computer
may be doing in the background, at the time you may expect the screen saver
to start. In other words, the machine may not actually be idle.

The XP Screensaver must be extra sensitive then, because all my other
screensavers turn on exactly when they are supposed to.
