When I preview screensaver it is fine. When I`m not
using computer screensaver doesn`t come on, I just get
small box that says---screensaver main from. Can anyone
help me?
 
Hi Ginny,

Are you sure that is the exact verbetim message? In the meantime:

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""
