i have a screen saver selected (Win 2K, under my profile which has administrator rights) and it doesn't come on. i logged into the admin profile and selected one, that doesn't come on either. anyone else ever have this problem, where your screen saver doesn't come on? damnit! :disgust:

sorry. i dont think a lot of people use screen savers any more.

but are you sure the screen saver file is still there? could it have been deleted? currupted?

if u d/l and install a new one does that work? or do all screen savers not work?

yeah, the screensaver files are there, and all of them don't work. i like it cause i had it set with a password feature, so ppl wouldn't be able to get in my profile after i've left the computer.

If it's windows 2000, press ctrl/alt/delete and lock your workstation. :p

That's what I used to do every night, and burned that login screen into my monitor. Not to bright on my part, I know. Now I have it set to shut off.
