DISPLAY PROPERTIES SCREEN SAVERS NOT WORKING goobmeister 06-30-2008

HP desktop 1601n
WinXP Pro
2 GB RAM
160 GB HD
nVidia video card
ViewSonic 2021m Flat Panel LCD

Since having to reformat my system, I can't get the screensavers to work
even though I set them up in DISPLAY PROPERTIES (right-clicking on the
desktop). When the time I set for the SS to begin has elapsed with no
activity on my part, nothing happens. Can someone shed some light on why
this may be happening (or not happening, I should say!).

The screensaver does work when I click the "Preview" button, but that's
meaningless when I bump the mouse and it reverts to the desktop. I also
changed the Power from EnergyStar to Home Office/Desk, but no soap.

THANKS

goob
