Screensaver not appearing

SP6a. Every now and then I'll get a session when my screensaver fails to
appear. Haven't tried reinstalling the Window NT4 screensavers yet, as I
wish to try other things first. I've searched Google news already.

I understand that the screensaver program supposedly runs *all* the time
when its been activated, but appears only when the time setting runs out. So
what is the process in Task Manager that pertains to the screensaver?

I had an NT box some years ago that the screensaver would always start when
the timer ran out but something would trigger activity and subsequently it
would never start again until I hit a key or moved the mouse. I never was
able to find out what the deal was. Recut the box and it never happened
again.
