Default Screensaver

This is probably a dumb question, but know matter what I do I can't get
the screensaver to come up. I have no problems in any other OS what is
so different about it in Vista? You find the screensaver and set the
time. What is different in Vista. Oh, the screensaver is set for 10
minutes and sleep,etc. are all set for much longer.

Default Re: Screensaver

The built in screen savers are system files, and SFC fixes those. (Yours is
probably broken)

Some Windows Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop

There is an optional update thru windows update that fixed this problem
for me - I cannot remember exactly what it was called but google like
"vista screensaver problem". I wanna say its like HID or something like
that.

Thanks for all the replies. I did "SFC/scannow" and that seemed to fix
the problem. Thanks again.
