Problem with screensavers...
Josh Powell
I was hoping somebody could help me out with a windows95
problem...........my screensavers won't come on by themselves. When I
preview a screensaver, it works fine,but will not come on otherwise. It
does not make a difference how many minutes I specify......
Any ideas are appreciated.Please e-mail at pow...@axionet.com

Oh MY GOD!!! I have the same problem, and I don't know where to find a
solution. This is very annoying, I think I'll reinstall the operating
system after having re-formatted my drive, if I'll not find any
workaround.
PLEASE, HELP US TO FIND THE SOLUTION!!! WE NEED HELP!!!

Okay guys
A possible cause is that either you or another program has disabled the
screen saver. To fix this, use regedit and check that:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ScreenSaveActive is set to 1
Hope this helps

Hi. I have a slightly different problem. A lot of times, when I
install a screensaver, it want appear in the list of screensavers. As
per usual, M-soft was of no help. Thanks in advance.

Don't forget that windows considers screensavers (whatever.scr files) to be
executable; you can always just use a shortcut to the SS file to start it.

With windows 95/NT it's no longer necessary to ensure that a screen saver
file sits in the windows system directory. Locate the screen saver you
want, right-click and select the install menu item. This will place all
screensavers in this directory into display properties dialog. This is the
technique Microsoft use for their theme packs, which allows them to keep
screensavers associated with different themes in separate directories.
