My XP screensaver has quit working. It will only work
when I first initialize it for the time and apply that
setting. If I run an application after that, the
screensaver will no longer work. Also, the "Standby"
option on the shut off procedure no longer is active.
 
Hi,

It means you have a driver issue, and quite possibly it's the video one.
First, check to see if an updated one is available for your system. If there
is, download and install it. If you recently did this, then it may be that
it doesn't properly support standby, and the trick here is to rollback to
the previous version. This is done from the properties of the display
adapter in device manager.
