screensaver

I was using MSN aquarium screensaver, and it locked up the screen. I rebooted
and changed to pipes. This was ok for a couple of weeks, and then pipes
locked up. Now I have changed to bezel, and the screen just fadeds in and out
and then goes blank. When I try to change back I get a message that
properties is not responding. Has anyone a fix for this? Thanks

With all due respect jerry your answer is not much help. Is there anyone who
understands why the screensaver function will not respond to changes and no
screensavers will work. I get a" not responding" error message and a screen
asking me to report the error to microsoft; which I did. Could this be a
virus that attacks that function. Can it spread to other areas.

Have you tried updating your video drivers to most recent version?
