Screensaver Causes Paused Movie to Play e2 07-13-2008

 In Media Center (Vistax64) when I pause a movie the screensaver comes on and
the movie begins to play automatically (I can hear it in the background and
when I clear the screensaver the movie is still going). How can I keep this
from occuring? I'd like a paused movie to go to screensaver, then sleep,
etc, as dictated by my power config setup.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 Just to clarify, when I pause the movie, the screensaver comes on after a
minute as it's set to do (and not as soon as I pause a movie). But as soon
as the screensaver activates, the movie begins to play as well.

Uninstalling the Cumulative Update for MC did the trick, Thanks Richard!

Is the movie suppose to restart when the computer sleeps while the movie was
paused? It's not a big issue though.

Also, when playing a movie in Windows Media Player the screensaver comes on,
whether it's maximized (fullscreen) or not. The setting in Options is not to
allow the screensaver to activate during playback. Any idea of hwo to keep
this from happening?

Thanks again!
