Screensaver not working properly

Any help is appreciated.

My favorite sreensaver, Lens32, has worked on many of my
machines in the past (Win95, 98). On my XP machine it
looks fine when I install and preview from the display
settings, but after selecting it and letting the machine
sit idle and and timeout to screensaver mode it takes a
long time for the cursor to disappear (you can see several
15 - 20 sec switches to hourglass) then the lens appears
but is frozen and only does an update (moves a little bit
on the screen) about every 45 sec or so. Again, in preview
mode it looks fine ?!?

Any ideas?

Many Thanks,

mark
 
lens 32 doesn't seem to be supported by windowsXP, but try locating the
file, right-click it, select properties/compatibility and select windows 98
and see if it will run properly
 
Hi,

Thanks for your response. I put the file in
windows\system32 and renamed it from Lens32.scr to
ssLens32.scr. This didn't help. I tried your suggestion
but when I go to the file's properties I get 2 tabs
General and Summary. General has an Advanced button but
there is no selection for compatibility anywhere that I
can find?

Do you think I'm stuck? In any event, I do appreciate your
help.

Best Regards,

mark
