Just one question. I dont know how much you know about your computer but I will go through it all to see if I can help.

Go to desktop

right click and go to properties

click on your screensaver tab at the top

then below the screen click on the drop down menu

click on the screensaver that you want

then close the dropbox and then go to the right to the time

and click on the time to reset it to 14 minutes and then hit "Apply"

then click ok..

This hopefully will fix your problem..

email me if you have anymore problems

Well I did it all again. And no such luck. For some strange reason it just does not want to work.

Hi there, Jarime,
I find that if you change ANY of your "current themes" properties,(minutes to apply SS, desktop background, performance options, etc) sometimes, OK, MOST of the time, it will prevent the SS from coming on, try this, right click your desktop and get to your Display properties box, set the time for your screen-saver, then, go to the themes tab, and click on "save-as" and make up a name or just overwrite the current theme's name, this ALWAYS work's for me, best of luck, Sincerely, Rob

Sadly that did not work either. Talk about frustrating.

i don't think this will work, but try applying thi update if you didn't.
