I recently had a HD crash and got it replaced. I have
reloaded XP and other software and back up and running.
Problem is...when I set a screen saver to come on it
never does. I have given it different times, but still
no saver. Is there an XP update that I've missed? I
have loaded SP1.
 
Hi,

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""
