I have tried the screeen savers that came with windows, I
have some others that are bought, and some that I
downloaded for free. I have no viruses. The screen savers
will not launch no matter what time frame I apply in the
control panel. Anyone with answers please contact me at
(e-mail address removed), thanks kindly, Michael
 
Hi Michael,

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""
