I just bought a new Toshiba laptop with Vista OS but, the screen savers will
not work. However, I can access the screen savers through the Control Panel
and even "Preview" them.

Anybody have an idea as to how I can make the screen savers "work"?
 
How about a little more info. How do you know the screen savers don't work?
What did you do to test it?

I know I have screen savers since I can "preview" them in control panel. I
switched between screen savers and also set the time for ten minutes and also
one minute. No longer how long the computer is inactive...no screen saver
 
Are you using a mouse additon to the touchpad? If so, try removing the
mouse. It also can be related to any other device connected through usb.
 
I am having the same problem with my Screen Saver. I also just purchased a
new laptop with Vista and cant get my Screen Saver to work....HELP!
 
Are you saying that we can't attach USB devices and use a screensaver?
Another example of incompetent programming?
 
I have not yet found an answer how to get the screen saver to work. Has
anyone solved the problem?

Same prob with a Dell laptop + Vista - can preview but won't work on their
own. Dell support suggested removing some programs from startup menu or
uninstalling dvd power option but i figure the screen saver should work on
its own. I didn't try those options because those solutions are equally as
troubling. It just shouldn't be that complicated. :(
