Do you run any programs like SETI (this program runs on idle time, the same
priority mode most screen savers run on). I have the same problem unless I
first shut down SETI.
| Hi,

| Guess I'd just avoid using the preview feature. Not sure what could be
| causing that behavior really, as things work ok when it is normally
invoked
| during regular system use? How about if you create a shortcut to or double
| click one of the .scr files in the \system32 folder, does this work ok, or
| does it cause the same problem?
