None of the screen savers in XP are activating. I
currently have it set to go on if no activity after 5
minutes and it won't kick in. I've tried changing the
times to 10 and 15 minutes and still nothing....any ideas
on how to fix this? Thanks!
 
Hi Lynn,

See if this helps/applies:

It is being set to None. Check your setting for the screensavers path.

Here are some examples:

Marine Aquarium 2.scr > rename it to > MarineAquarium2.scr

In the registry, screensaver will work correctly if it is listed as so:
c:\windows\system32\marine~1.scr

Screen Savers do not work correctly if listed as so:
""c:\windows\system32\marine aquarium 2.scr""
