The screensaver on my new WinXP Home PC will not start if anyone is
logged on. If no one is logged on and it is at the Welcome screen, it
starts without a problem. I've gone into Display Properties and set it
to start after 5 minutes. I've clicked on the Power button and made
sure that the settings there say to turn off. Please, what am I
missing?

My thought is that there is a running application that is making the
computer think there is activity. What types of applications do you have
running?
 
Thank you for the pointer. After much playing with msconfig, I found
the DVDLauncher.exe is the culprit. Once I removed that unnecessary
startup, the screen saver works fine.
