screensaver shuts off

I just bought an HP with Windows XP on it. The screensaver has several times
shutoff--if a popup notification shows up, just because, or I'm not sure why.
Any ideas?? I have tried shutting off the notifications but it still does it.
 
Screensavers were necessary way back when, if the computer was left on, an
image was eventually burnt onto the screen. Typically this was the sign-on
screen on office networked computers. I don't see any practical use for a
screensaver now. It's just a pretty accessory.

This should not be confused with the power settings. Again, there is not
practical use on office computers - and there is danger that a hard disk
will not start up again. Most monitors have a power switch. It is, of
course, useful on lap-top computers.

Thanks but I guess I am still confused as to how to shut the other stuff off
that keeps causing this. My old HP pc didn't give me this grief!
