ScreenSaver Wait delay not adjustable

[Glen]

The delay for screensavers is grayed out. Not sure if
this is from another program or the result of an update.

The situation: Right click on desktop -> properties ->
SceenSaver tab-> choose any screen saver and the Wait
numeric box is grayed out. I looked in the registry
under HKey_Current_User\Control
Panel\Desktop\ScreenSaveTimeOut it has a value of 1800.
If I change it it will record the change in the registry
but still the screensave starts within 1 sec of
inactivity.

Anyone else have similiar problem?

Hi Glen,

Try the edit on line 230 (right hand side)

Sounds as though you have the screen saver set as default in the registry.
